<human>: I need serious answers for once. 

I took a year off of college thinking I'd pick up a job and work for a year. This disappointed my dad immensely. I haven't gotten a job yet but I've been applying and looking. However, my dad constantly rides me about working and how I'm irresponsible and need to man up and all of that stuff. I barely see him, my parents are split and I'm always with my mom, but go to see my dad like three days every two weeks, you can see why. Every waking moment I am with him, even when I'm not, he is just on my case about it, making me feel like a total failure in his eyes. We are always fighting and arguing, and the first words he says when I finally see him are always job related, ruining the entire time I'm with him. I never hear a "How's it going?" or anything nice. I just need to know how I should tell him he is running me out of his life, and if he ever IS proud of me, I'll be too driven away to care.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Father makes me feel like a failure, need to know how to tell him, preferably without getting into a huge altercation.
