i just cant get the message across

when ever i get in trouble or some other situation like that, in my head i know what im gonna say. in my head i try to explain myself and the situation, try to make my parents (mostly my dad) see my point of view. im by no means thinking about lying to them, no, i just wanna explain myself. but then when i go to explain myself i find myself emotionaly inept. i cant find the utter words to explain myself even for minor issues. all i can do is meekly agree with whatever my dad says. this situation frustrates me to no end. i am a very good talker, i have no stage fright and excell in all debates in class. none the less i seem too wither in front of my dad's stare. he is not abusive or anything he is just authorative and commanding. i guess this is a result of him being VP and dealing with all types of situations that require that sort of atttitude. the fact that i cannot explain myself to my dad makes our relationship sometimes very strange as he cannot figure out what i am trying to say nor can i explain what i am feeling to him.

what im trying to say is that i need a different way of communicating to him as it seems that i cannot explain myself in the regular manner.

I'm sorry, but there is no other way of communicating with your father, well, there is, but I'm sure you wouldn't want to e-mail or text him, right?
I can't really help you with your inability to say what you feel to your father, because that is something you should overcome yourself. What you should do is not think too much of what you're going to say ahead of time, that will only make talking to him worse.
In my case, I think about the main ideas of what I want to say to him and then respond to him according to what he says. My dad doesn't seem as commanding as yours, but you should try it.

Maybe you can sit down with your dad and tell him how you feel it may be mad cheesy but it can hep tell him how you feel and fox things :)
