Invite your Dad out for coffee. Show up with you sponsor. Let your sponsor know what's going on. Do 20 minutes of chit-chat if the topic doesn't come up by itself. Tell your Dad the facts, not some dumb story about the facts. Tell him the facts. Ask for his encouragement toward you getting a better job. Then talk about 2 things your Dad likes to talk about.
You can tell I been there. The first talk I had with my Dad took 4 hours at Denny's. I was floating from all that coffee. I was born on his birthday and we both play cribbage, so we have things to keep the conversations busy.
