my father left my mother when she was pregnat six moths.
he is a liar. he tells lies mormons, he pretend he is a good person. he told mormons he gives money for food, and education, but this is not true. he told ' you have to mormon church ' í've given you money it´s a lie if you want to stay at home you have to pretend that i didn´t leave you and your mother.
he forced to convert to mormon, but i dídn´t convert to mormon, but i cant tell lies.

thanks you but i cant do nothing with my situacion because my father only tells lies.
i believe in the truth.
sometimes i think my father never loved me.
but i told you my father seems a good person, get away money to other people while when i was a baby i needed it.
i´ve tried to understand him, but i cant.
ive forgiven him, because i don t understand because is a bad person with me, because he doesn´t want my brothers write me.
i was happy because i met my family in America but they didn´t love me.
now, nobody calls me, nobody writes, i dont understand me.

Your question is very confusing and rather incomprehensible.
Of course it is not a sin to be Catholic. Please, find a Catholic Church where you can speak with a priest about all that worries you. You need some face to face counseling.

I understand .I dated Return Missionary. For about 3 weeks. He was sleeping with another girl, and started to date my friend. Plus he gave someone I know herpes.
People in the Mormon Church hide their sins. So they look good . Women are abused in the church .
The bishops stand behind the men.
I like Catholics you believe the bible the true word of god. In the Mormon church truth don't exist.

Congratulations on your desire to stand for the truth against the Mormon church.
The Apostle Paul wrote that as Christians, we are often called the scum of the earth. Being right and doing what God would have you do is the right thing to do no matter what you are called.
The President of the church and some of the leaders say that some people don't deserve to hear the truth. That often makes what they say a lie.

Sounds like your father isn't the greatest of persons, but that probably has nothing to do with his being Mormon. You will find bad seeds in all faiths and corners of the Earth. Life isn't always easy, but we should continue to respect people and make the most of what we are given. We are who we are based on our personal decisions not those of others.

If your father is a Mormon he is not a very good Mormon.
Most Mormon men treat their wife and children with respect.
Mormons are taught to be respectful and caring for others.

He is not acting like a Mormon, aka a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I think he needs some serious help. I am LDS!

Your father obviously has serious issues, and it has nothing to do with the Church. He is abusing his priesthood, and technically, God does not recognize the priesthod authority of such a person.
D&C 121:35 Because their hearts are set so much upon the things of this world, and inspire to the honors of men, that they do not learn this one lesson—
36 That the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected with the powers of heaven, and that the powers of heaven cannot be controlled nor handled only upon the principles of righteousness.
37 That they may be conferred upon us, it is true; but when we undertake to cover our sins, or to gratify our pride, our vain ambition, or to exercise control or dominion or compulsion upon the souls of the children of men, in any degree of unrighteousness, behold, the heavens withdraw themselves; the Spirit of the Lord is grieved; and when it is withdrawn, Amen to the priesthood or the authority of that man.
38 Behold, ere he is aware, he is left unto himself, to kick against the pricks, to persecute the saints, and to fight against God.
39 We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion.
40 Hence many are called, but few are chosen.
41 No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by virtue of the priesthood, only by persuasion, by long-suffering, by gentleness and meekness, and by love unfeigned;
42 By kindness, and pure knowledge, which shall greatly enlarge the soul without hypocrisy, and without guile—
43 Reproving betimes with sharpness, when moved upon by the Holy Ghost; and then showing forth afterwards an increase of love toward him whom thou hast reproved, lest he esteem thee to be his enemy;
44 That he may know that thy faithfulness is stronger than the cords of death.
45 Let thy bowels also be full of charity towards all men, and to the household of faith, and let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly; then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distil upon thy soul as the dews from heaven.
