I can't stand my father anymore

It's been months that he has a very bad attitude toward me and my mother. He gets angry over the stupidest things, and he thinks he's right everytime. What I can't stand is that he often makes my mother cry... Today he got angry at me for a stupidity, but he also insulted me very bad. I got so upset, I cried but he didn't even care. Why is he like this? What did I do bad? What can I do? ._.

Do you think he could be suffering from depression? Irritability is common with depression. Is there any history of depression in the family? That really ups the likelihood of it. Also some medications can cause anger and irritability. Since this isn't his normal behavior I think something may be going on healthwise that he should get checked out.

Thank you for your advice. I think it could be depression in some ways, he told me he's having some problems at work... anyway, everything's resolved now. We talked about it, and he was very sorry... I really hope it won't happen again.

I am sorry to hear that from you. You have to find the root of the problem here. Do your father like that since the beginning?

No, he wasn't. He was a very kind and gentle person. That's why I'm upset.

Yes, I had already thought about talking about it with his mother/my grandma. She's wiser than me and my mother, and she knows my father better, so maybe she could help...

I think you all should sit down and have a family talk. There's probably an underlying cause to your fathers bad attitude (like stress from work or such) thats making him take it out on you two, because he can't express it there. Tell him how much he's hurting your family and try to figure out what all three of you can do to help rememdy the situation. If nothing helps, you might want to try and get an appointment with a family councilor and see if that can help change things.
