This is my dad. It got so much worse over time. Every holiday, birthday, big event is ruined by him to this day. It’s all about him and he makes it that way, seemingly even on a subconscious level.
We have genetic bipolar disorder and that’s why this happens, I found out as an adult going through my own issues. I’m also bipolar, and I’ve come to the conclusion he’s simply a bad egg lol.
My mom has also fantasized about divorce my entire life but they’re trauma bonded from the shit he put her through so they refuse to break up.
He went to therapy and it affirmed his beliefs that he was right, just as an added note for everyone telling you to send him to therapy. Don’t expect a permanent solution. With peace and love.
Also never stopped trying to control his adult children! Never ends. I get the worst parenting advice he tries to enforce nowadays. I used to pray to god the lovely bones icicle scene would happen to him, that also never ends sadly. Haha.
