How do I disconnect two iPhones?

My phone seems to be commented to my dads so I am getting all of his texts and when I text it comes from his phone number, what should I do?

iPhone 7, iOS 11.2.1, Also an iPhone 6 iOS 11.2.1

It would sound like the two of you are sharing the same Apple ID. If that is the case, one of you needs to get your own Apple ID, so you do not share text messages. In the meantime, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, and remove the checkmark from everything except your phone, and have your Dad do the same thing on his phone and remove your phone number.
