My situation was not so good, adding the fact that I am submissive by nature, didn't help also. So in a nutshell while in high school I was not allowed to date any girls, because I was told that it may interfere with my non stop studying. I was allowed to go out maybe once a week max, my father also was never satisfied with anything I did and made regular demoralizing comments. All that was going on from the time I was probably 7 till 18, when I left the house to go to college.
Now at 32, I never had a real girlfriend, being only with prostitutes, extremely awkard and shy around women, no regular job, no social circle etc.
However I have to say that I take full responsibility for all the failures in my life, I am just writing this post to see if anyone out there had a similar experience growing up and how he overcome it.
I cannot empathise with you or see too many similarities.
My dad was hugelye judgmental and strict though. Study and results in school were first. Any fuck up and I was castigated. However, there was nothing beyond that - it was basically be good (academically) or you are a retard and unworthy. No abuse or name calling, just no affection.
Not nice when affection depends on results, but he helped me with education, paid for it and is ultimately an inspiration. I'm just fucked thinking what xmas present to get him as I have written the most heart wrenching thank you card you can imagine and now I have to get the gift to go with it.
Short conclusion: Affection should not be based on academic/sporting performance or your child will be unable to form lovong relationships and will grade life by metrics rather than affection and personability.
