    Hi,

    There is no pressure on you to make any major conversation with your father; and you can just as easy go back home and talk to him as if he was merely an acquaintance. What do we do when acquaintances say something that hurts us? - We hide our hurt and then confide about it to someone else. I believe that if you treat the relationship in this way, it will make your christmas t hat little bit easier.

    Hey, we've all made mistakes when drunk and done things we deeply regret, however unless this guy raped you or something I think you're going a little OTT by holding a grudge with your father over this. You said they are lovely people and you love them well whats changed your father didn't plough you with drink or contribute to you losing your virginity. I have been estranged from my father for 7 years, as have many other people, you should be greatful you've parents that are good to you and that you get along with.
