I have a BIG problem

I havent had a relationship with my dad for almost a year because last time we spoke to each other i told him what i thought of him.
But i want to have a relationship with him and i do miss not being able to call him and ask if we can go out or if i can go to work with him and all the little thing we use to do.
And the thing is he drinks, does drugs and lies all the time and if i do say to him about it he will either shout at me or will tell me he will stop and the thing is i know he wont.
I want my dad but i dont think he will ever change and if that is the case he will just hurt me again.
What did i do?
