I live with my mom and my dad and our pets. I'm very very close to my mom and she's my best friend but my dad and I aren't very close and never have been since I was really really really little...
Who I am: I'm 24, I am a good kid, don't get in trouble, don't drink, do drugs, don't smoke. I'm in college and about to graduate in 9 months. I guess my worst faults are that I'm lazy and don't have a job, although I don't think a person's opinion of someone should ever be based on their job.
Anyway my dad has ALWAYS been rude, passive aggressive, mean, resentful, hateful and mad towards me... even when I've done nothing wrong. A lot of times he'll go out of his way just to pick on me or make me look/feel stupid. I just want to know why. He treats me as if (and this is impossible) I was a step-kid or some bastard child my mom had with another man that he "has" to live with. He acts like he is an older brother and I took over. He is jealous of my time with my own mother.

He feels like any time I spend with her is intruding on his time... as if I am just a nuissance that he has to tolerate. He doesn't see me as a son.
When I was very little I was close to both my parents. He then owned his own shop and it consumed him and he even resorted to drugs for a little while. Afterwards I got closer to my mom and he claims she "stole" me away from him... I say he gave up on me.
He mot certainly has depression/bipolar disorder although doesn't admit it.
Needless to say this whole thing with my dad has effed me up royally, mentally. I have very bad clinical depression and I'm almost certain this is why among other reasons.
Anyway I just want to know why he constantly acts so hostile towards me... any guesses?

I wouldn't say that I am the only one he is like this to either. He can be very rude to my mother. Some days, although rare, he is like a completely different person. Nice, giving, seriously like someone switches places with him on some days.
Oh another thing, we have a little female chihuahua who he treats better than me his own son.
