I accidentally ended up with my dad's Apple ID merged with mine, and I need to separate them by morning. I have no idea how this happened, but now my Apple ID shows his information, including his contacts, and I'm even logged into his streaming services. I can't access his photos, but I'm really worried about my privacy, especially since he doesn't respect it. My own Apple ID hasn't worked since I got my phone, and I don't know his password to reset anything. I'm really desperate for help!

Sorry to hear you're in this situation, but it sounds confusing for sure. If you don't know his password and your ID isn't working, that's tricky. You might also want to check if you can reset your Apple ID password through the recovery options—if you haven’t already tried that. Just make sure to verify your identity properly so you can regain access.
It's actually not possible for Apple IDs to merge like that. If your account is showing your dad's information, it sounds more like you're signed into his account instead of yours. Have you tried logging out and back in? It might be a matter of simply signing into your own Apple ID again. If you can’t access yours, you might want to reach out to Apple support directly for help. They can guide you through the process of recovering your account.
I didn’t even think about contacting support! That might be a good idea if I can’t figure it out.
