How I did it: After strong, consistent encouragement from my boyfriend to accept my father for who he is I finally started listening.  I realized he does his best and is trying to remedy the mistakes of his past.  It took some time for me to consider his upbringing and realize that his version of love is different that what I expected.

Lessons & tips: Humble yourself.
