I'm feeling sort of torn about a fight I had with my dad, one of the people I most care about. Yesterday for diferent reasons(I'm not gonna' get into it now) we started arguing. At one point we were both screaming at each other and insulting each other and I really thought it was going to turn into a phisical fight by the way he was acting(and some of the things he was screaming at me). This had never happened before, in my entire life he had never lost it like that. After screaming some more I was finally able to leave the house and call a friend to come get me. My cell phone was broken but a while later I changed the SIM card to my friend's cell phone and I saw that my dad had sent me a message asking me to come home, saying sorry and all that. At night I went home, did my usual stuff, had dinner and then went to bed. But today, a day later, I still haven't spoken with him. I haven't said anything and he's only made one comment or two. With my mom on the other hand I talk as usual. So I'm feeling sort of torn now. I don't know why he's not talking to me and I'm not sure if he does if I'm ready to just forget about what happened yesterday. Maybe I'm just getting really paranoid and exagerating(sp?) because I'm stoned, whatever I don't know.

just and update- yesterday I spoke with my dad. Well he came to talk to me. I was on the PC and he said he wanted to talk. It wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be, he said he was sorry and it wouldn't happen again, to wich I responded it better not. Now though he seems to be trying to make up for things by acting really nice, not telling me off for going out late or running into me being really stoned(he'd usually tell me off for those things).

Well, from what i know about men (not stereotyping... i could be wrong) is that he is probably embarassed and sorry for some of the things he said to you but just doesn't wnat to admit it. If I were you i would confront him about it. make sure it isn't going to just turn into another fight though. Just ask him if he really meant what he said, and just talk it over. In my opinion, you don't have to forget about it but you can forgive. He may be wondering the same things you are about the whole thing. Be the mature one and have a grown up conversation with him.

He's either not talking to you because he's still angry at you or because he's ashamed of his own behavior. Either way, he can't keep up feeling that way forever, and normalcy will eventually be restored.

So, give it a few days. Depending on the type of person he is, he'll either just go back to talking to you and pretend like it never happened, or he'll have a heart-to-heart with you. If he does the former and you feel like you really need to talk to him about what happened, wait until he's completely cooled off and then approach him about it in a calm manner. If you don't remain calm during the closure periods of fights, you'll find yourself fighting all over again.
