I guess it's just pride now, right, that will stop either of you communicating with the other. Still, that wound is going to be raw for a while, and there's no need for you to rub it whilst the memory is so fresh. Sounds like some distance is needed. For anything to truly be repaired, both of you have to be willing to do it I suppose. Tough situation sometimes, families, especially boys and fathers, I've found. I'd be frustrated with his Latin 'advice' too - that seems to me a cop out, when what you needed, and deserved, was an apology. I can't help but feel outrage for you, but that doesn't help anything either.
