Thanks for reaching out and offering your opinion. Sorry to hear about your messy relationship with your dad.
My relationship with my dad, most times, is cordial. I wouldn't say we were in a great relationship but we get along most of the time.
I would again throw this out as him being angry or defending my wife but this again isn't his first time. He threatened violence over much simpler things. I don't know if he would actually act on these words but I don't want to test it or even consider that.
Part of that anger resides with my mom who doesn't stick up for me when hearing these words or preventing these threats. I feel partly that I am overreacting which is the point of this post.
Thanks again for your thoughts!
