I found examples in literaturewhere "father" is not capitalised.
http://books.google.fr/books?id...ed=0CEAQ6AEwBg

So it seems there is no absolute rule, here, as in French.

CK, made a comment here that he later erased, as usual, where he equates, once again, "father" with "his father". This is a complete misconception.

"he is afraid of father" doesn't indicate in any way that "he" is the son of "father". "He" could perfectly be afraid of "my father". The equation is valid if and only if the narrator is a sibling of "he".
