<human>: Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?

Me and my father have never been that close. Things were better when I was a child as he took me for motorcycle rides and camping. But when I got older (from 12 yrs old till 16) we started to have big fights about the most stupid things. They mainly went so far because my dad refused to hear me out or argument and became hostile very fast. He always thought he was right and I shouldn't talk back to him. (I admit I wasn't at my best in those puberty years.) Top of that he was/still is very mean sometimes. (Maybe bc work stress? Idk.)

So I don't think it comes as a surprise that I avoided his company for all those years. When we do spend time together it truly feels like a chore and I must try to act certain way and be by my best behaviour to not set him off. I have tried to see over his personality the but more I try the more I wonder that "wow I really don't like this guy at ALL."

So guys, what can I do? I'd love to have a good bond with my dad. Time only makes him older and I'm scared the only memories I will have of him will be the bad ones. He's not all bad ofcourse, there is a lot good in him but his worse side is the one that comes mainly in my mind when I think about him. And I don't know how to talk him about this because he is not the type who speaks about his feelings.
<bot>: I try to like my dad but can't, and I'm scared that I will remember him as an bitter angry man.
