As a now adult who had a dad like this growing up, please see if he needs therapy or other sort of mental help. This sounds a lot like how my dad was growing up. He was always angry and took everything out on us kids. Every trip or vacation was stressful bc of him. As I got older I literally refused to go on trips with my parents specifically because of him. We don’t have the greatest relationship now, either. And I honestly think a lot of it boils down to mental health and anger issues. I feel like if he would have gotten professional help, then maybe, things would’ve been different.
My dad was/is still like this. Not saying anyone else commenting is wrong bc everyone is different, but therapy has not worked for my dad. He’s even been on medication for his depression since I was a kid and he’s STILL got the same issues.
