I'm not going to treat my dad like crap just because that's how he's making me feel at the moment.

I never said to. I said to treat him like an equal. Sit down and talk things out with him. If you're too scared of him to do so normally, get a caseworker or someone outside who you trust in on it. If you have to yell, yell. Just because you aren't subservient to him doesn't mean you're treating him badly.
