I would suggest that you learn from this that your father wanted to do some things alone and that he didn't HAVE to teach you anything he didn't want to. He is an autonomous individual with his own drives and needs as are you, parents are not slaves to your desires. You should also stop using this as an excuse. My father did the same to me but I still learned to build both software and DIY-type-things. We are shaped by my own decisions.

You're kind of preaching to the choir, I have two kids and need a lot of time for myself. But, there's no need to yell at your kid when he made a mistake that was quite foreseeable. > You should also stop using this as an excuse. I don't feel victimised by my father, but there's no denying his actions influenced me in a big way. And it's important to recognize that because I want to at least do better in this area with my own kids.
