I don't think my dad respects me

Sounds like my dad when he would drink. Try having an honest discussion about how you feel with him earlier in the day. Try asking him if he is ok and mention he has seemed more stressed lately. It might make him less hostile if he is forced to self reflect a bit.

Its really hard as a teenager with parents like this cause they are super proud and dont like to listen to or take any advice or directives or suggestions or leasons from their kids. You want them to learn to be less shitty, but you cat really teach them if they wont listen. I hated learning that the best course of action was to adapt and learn how to deal with them as they are, not fight and argue.

If you feel yourself getting too emotional, say so and take a breather. Living with a giant bully is miserable. Hopefully you can work it out, but at least you only have 2 years until college.
