Dear Ruby,
First I'll start off by saying sorry for your lost. Your house seems very unstable right now. The easiest way to build a positive relationship with your father is verbally, and that is for you, and your sister. You guys have to keep listening to him though, even if you KNOW your right, you have too. It might seem hard, but you have to because of the fact that he's your father, and your his child. Also, lying gets you NOWHERE. You have to try to convince your sister to stop lying to him and start obeying the rules. Trust is key, if he knows you'll listen to him and obey his rules, he can never go wrong again. These are the only ways to build a bond. The last thing I have to tell you is, take some initiative. Start doing housework and homework without being told too and he'll loosen up, I promise.
P.S.
Keep hope and keep on smiling! :)
Michael- you had a few mistakes. However, I really liked your approach. You were practical and firm, but spoke from the heart. I will have a grade for you tomorrow!
