It's always been like this, ever since I was a little kid. Everything is focused around him. He always described himself as the "leader" of the family. He's extremely controlling. When I was a kid, it was like walking on eggshells around him. If I did the smallest thing wrong, he'd hit me. That stopped when I was around eight, but his controlling nature stayed. He has no sympathy.. at all. If one of his children were crying, he'd get mad. If one of us were hurt, he'd get mad at the fact that we're hurt. Another thing that bothers me... he shows no love or affection to my mom. He screams at her all the time and gets mad at her as if she was a child. My mom's sensitive and when she starts crying, he shows no love for her at all. He's always justified. His opinion is always right, even if it's not. He never says sorry. I won't remember him positively when he dies. He and my sister have the worst relationship. They're constantly arguing and swearing. My dad will find anything to get mad at her about. I don't know if this is all just because he's a justified, righteous person or if it's because he's drinking 24/7. I can't post his chart right now, but if you're up to it, his birthday is June 30, 1957 and he was born in Cranbrook, BC, Canada. Unfortunately, I don't know what time he was born at. Any help will be appreciated.

Could be the drinking.
My dad was an alcoholic also, though I don't remember because he quit shortly after I was born. But I heard stories and he was a totally different person than the one I had heard about.

Yeah, I thought so too.. That could be it. Sometimes, though, he "quits" for a couple days and he's even worse. I guess he goes through withdrawal. He's been drinking all his life.

At least you recognize it and know to get away from it. Some kids will try to rationalize and stick around for more abuse. Just get away from it, as soon as you can.
