My father is annoyingly using this construct that I find very hard to break into, he played white here. So I would like to find a strategy against it :-)

So your position has a couple of problems. From your initial question, I think it's fair to assume that you want to play on the king side going for checkmate. However, your queen is on the wrong side of the board and your bishop is stuck behind the e pawn.

I think you may be playing your opening in a way that may not suite your style or plans you like to play very much. It might make sense to start from there. Ask yourself how you like to play the middle game, then find an opening that will support the structures you need for that to happen.
