He never stops being angry or upset as us. He is always crabby. He never talks to anyone. When he does talk he talks like he hates us.

I'll answer your question with a question: What's making him crabby? Money problems? Alcohol? Drugs? Is he just abusive? Are you contributing to his anger by not following house rules? If he's hitting you, then call Child Protective Services and file a report.

I am not sure I have enough information to judge correctly, but here are my opinions. Your father needs counseling, and you as a family would probably benefit from counseling. Tell an adult you can trust about your feelings, and see if they can help you. In my experience, some people are not able to "love" the way the rest of us are. Your father may be doing the best that he can at the moment, but it is not a "normal" relationship. Sometimes it is hard for fathers to let their children be "who they are" and they may insist that their children conform to his idea of what they should be. He needs counseling before your relationship is damaged beyond repair.
Tell him how much you long to have him wear his "company" face when he is at home with the two of you, because the face he is showing you is not one you care to deal with.
Best of luck! You are in my thoughts!

You didn't mention your age, or your brother's. Is it possible for both of you to sit down with him and ask what's on his mind? You could say it carefully and respectfully: "Dad, it seems like something is really bothering you. Can we do anything to help you?" You can also tell him how you feel: "I feel confused when you are irritable and I don't know what I've done."
You can't know what's going on w/ him: job pressure, money, illness. He may really appreciate your making an effort to find out what his situation is. Good luck, and God bless!

It sounds like your Dad has something else getting to him, like his job or money or something like that. Not you guys. Do you have a Mom you can talk to about it? If not try to talk to him, don't argue about it, just talk.
Good luck!!
