My father has an anger management problem and it freaks me out. Tonight it showed up as "road rage" as he drove me home from dinner with the family. A guy talking on the cell phone cut him off. He's going to get himself killed or cause an accident and kill someone else. And I don't like that idea.
I told him to stop it, I reminded him about road rage. he then proceeded to yell at me "That I can't even have an opinion?!" And that "It's not fair!" I then told him, "Life's not fair, get over it."
I don't understand how someone can get that angry with someone they don't even know. I don't understand how someone can get that angry, that fast, to begin with (I tend not to get angry with other people/animals/outside objects. If I'm going to be angry at anything it's at myself).
I absolutely hate being around all of that stress, yelling, screaming and anger. I grew up with it. I hated it then. I hate it now. Getting out of their house and moving out on my own away from that environment was the best thing that I ever did for my mental health and overall well being.
But he's been that way my entire life. He doesn't see a problem with it. He chooses not to address it. He's not going to change.
I swear it will kill him. And that will be a bad day.
