Am I right in thinking that the only scene we actually see him in in the movie is him yelling at Kirk stealing his car? I seem to recall not disliking him at all the first time I saw the movie; he just seemed to be acting like any adult would in that situation.
The novelisation clearly has him as a stepfather and IIRC somewhat emotionally abusive too. I haven't seen the deleted scene you mention in one of your comments, though.
