I agree with alx. I the first sentence, you can see that the treatment is "tú": no caigas". If the subject were "tú", the following sentence would have been "que te sientes".

@alx. Yes, the Spanish is clearly saying that is "your father, the one who feels old, just because he is 70 years old".
I don't know exactly how to put in in correct English, I'll give it a couple of tries, but the English natives can re-touch it or re-write it altogether! Don't go the way your father went, who feels old just because he is 70 years old, Or, Don't fall for what your father fell for, who [your father] feels old just because he is 70 years old, The father adopted an attitude, or swallowed some kind of myth about "being young/old" and believed and that's why now he feels old, when as a matter of fact he is just a little 70 years old kid! Note: Didn't see Irmamar post after I wrote my post, so the "Yes" is addressed to Alx...

If you want to use an idiom, you can say don't follow your father's footsteps.

No sigas los pasos de tu padre.
No vayas por donde fue tu padre.
