I agree, his father may be cold and pretty abusive, he does care about Dominic in his own way. If he didn't care about him, he wouldn't have sent him to Bullworth Academy so he could be safe from what's going on. But who knows? His dad could just be full of shit too ;)

I don't know if Dominic really held his ground against his father. I would say he rather ENDURED him, so to speak. He even admits that arguing with his father is useless and never works, so he's just given up on the guy. It's kinda sad actually haha
