There are certainly worse things than being a dreamer. And it sounds to me like you're not just a dreamer, like Talthyr said, you have goals and I think the determination to see them through.
It's one thing being a critic, in that you don't blindly accept things and question the status quo. I wouldn't call your father a critic in this sense however, I'd call him cruel, thoughtless and undeserving of his son. Whether his behaviour is due to his alcohol problems or not, there's no excuse if this is truly the way he treats you. Parents should support their children. I don't think it's a good idea for parents to build their child up so that they have unrealistic goals and opinions of their abilities, but there is a happy medium. Try not to take what he says as gospel. Your success is a product of what you do, not what he thinks you can do [img]smile.gif[/img]
