How to cope and deal with a difficult parent?

2019-03-11 10:48 pm
I've been concerned about my dad for a while. He has always had an explosive temper. In the last year or two it has gotten worse. He can react to things in a totally over the top manner. We have tried to talk about his anger management issue. He is in complete denial about it. Ive noticed more recently he gets real nastys when he talks about certain people. He will be nice to your face (not all the time) and talk poorly behind your back. As his daughter I should not have to worry or question what he says about me. Im slowly getting to the point where I really dont care what he says about me. I know he is unhappy but that doesnt mean he should make others feel poorly about themselves. I have been guilty of reacting poorly instead of remaining calm. I am resentful of my mom. While she has defended my sisters at times she hasnt given him an ultimatitum. He is a grown *** man and I'm tired of getting fearful whenever they fight. Does anyone have any ideas on how to cope with difficult parents? Thank you in advance

No matter what the situation, you can only help the people who want to help themselves, and no matter that they're your parents; the situation is the same.
It's horrible watching two people tear a relationship to bits in front of your eyes. It might be that there is some mental condition that is leading your father further into aggression and temper, but there might also be issues between them which they aren't sharing with you.
As far as you are concerned, you are an adult and you can choose to ignore anything that your father says to others about you. And if he says it to you, you can also walk away.
But if the violence is physical and will result in physical harm, then you call the police to deal with any dangerous situation and then if he won't accept psychological help, he has to be sectioned (involuntarily committed), in order to keep him, and those around him, safe.
