I'm with jwgh. (how *does* one pronounce that?) I thought you portrayed your dad with some depth, and there were times in your memoir when I felt he was kind of a tragic figure. I also caught your mixture of anger, rebellion, respect, exasperation, and love (and perhaps a hint of pity?) towards your dad.
This has made me think of my mental image of my own dad at various times of my life. As complicated as he is, there were phases when I painted him pretty two-dimensionally in my own mind. It seems like he grows more complex as I age. :P
