Hello, original poster.
Your father wants to control you. If you don't listen, he'll either beat you or scold you. You feel controlled and misunderstood. You feel angry and resentful towards your father. I understand because I had the same parents. I'm here for you.
I was also controlled, but I didn't rebel. My parents thought they could control me because they thought we belonged to them. So they had some control over us, rather than seeing us as independent.
Parents learn this style from their parents, so they don't know what's good or bad for their kids. They think kids belong to them and must obey them because they gave birth to them. This is a fixed belief, and there's nothing we can do to change it.
After studying psychology, I learned to accept my parents' parenting style. I also learned to refuse gently but firmly. The original poster can express their refusal directly, but in a gentle but firm manner. You can have an in-depth conversation with your father. Ask him why he must have his way or where you disobey him.
See yourself as an independent person. Talk to your father calmly, not emotionally. This won't make him compromise. It will backfire and make him more controlling.
I hope this helps.

I can't imagine how difficult and painful this must have been for you. It sounds like you've been through a lot, and it's understandable to feel angry and hurt.
Your feelings are valid, and it's important to acknowledge them. No child should go through what you described. Seeking support from someone you trust might help you cope with these emotions.
It's heartbreaking to hear about your experiences. Sometimes parents make mistakes, but that doesn't make it right. You deserve to be treated with love and respect.
What you're describing is deeply troubling. It might be beneficial to talk to a counselor or therapist who can provide professional guidance and support in processing these feelings.
It sounds like you've carried this pain for a long time. Finding a safe space to express yourself and being around people who understand and support you can be incredibly healing.
