Why does my dad hate his family?
For reference, in my early 20s and living at home after being away at school for an extended period of time, adjusting to life back living with my family, and my dad. He gets drunk often, but even when he’s not inebriated he’s constantly making snide remarks about my mom and my siblings, as well as myself. I’m a pretty sensitive person and I’ve tried to realize it’s maybe not personal but sometimes it simply hurts too much to bear. For instance, once in the middle of the day I was taking a nap (I work a retail job most days of the week) and I guess he didn’t like that so he decided that was an appropriate time to call me a loser who went to a no-name school that nobody gives a shit about for a useless degree. He also shits on my decision to buy a car constantly even though it’s a necessity to get anywhere in the suburbs. We made the arrangement I wouldn’t have to pay rent, just contribute household materials and pay for my phone bill and things like that beforehand, so it’s not that. I guess I’m just looking for fellow dads to chime in about why my dad seems to hate us and his life so much. It sucks living in misery every day.
