My dad's about 52 right now and he has always had an anger problem. When I say anger problem I mean like he always snaps and he gets mad really easily. I thought he had gone passed his midlife crisis couple years ago when he went thru bankruptcy and law suits. Our family has been pretty peaceful after that. But 2 days ago he was ok in the morning and afternoon. And at night he fell asleep in my parents room and all of a sudden he woke up and he just start getting really mad. He start slamming doors and just stop talking to us. He slepted in the living room and he doesn't eat. We don't know what's wrong with him. My mom said they didn't have an argument and she said he told her he's just mad at himself. What is wrong with him? it's been 2 days and he's just so angry at the world or something. He lost his company during the bankruptsy so he's a driver now picking up kids at school so he doesnt have a lot of stress.

Life often takes its toll on us sweetie, dont take it personally. He is just through hard times right now, angry about things that have happened. Angry about things that havent happened. It has nothing to do with you. Just give him space to vent, and do what he needs to do right now.

Maybe your dad should go see a doctor. This sounds like a sign of depression. If he has dealt with anger for such a long time, then it could possibly be that maybe something that has happened to him during his kiddie years, that might have triggered this type of behavior. It is not going to go away unless he seeks help.
Your mom may want to talk to him about getting that help, if he doesn't want to go, then there is nothing you can do, but to keep an eye out for him in case he does get violent. If he does get violent in the home, then your mom or you needs to call the police for you and your mom's own safety.
But, he should go see a doctor to get evaluated.

Yes dear, he does have a lot of stress!!
Your dad is experiencing depression.
If the truth be known he probably feels like a
'loser', having to go bankrupt is no picnic, and especially when you lose your own business..
Your dad needs 'love' and understanding right now, and try hard to be patient with him.
In one sense it's probably 'very' demeaning to
him to have to drive a school bus after owining his own business. Men have a lot of pride and when something like this happens, it not only effects the man, he knows it effects the whole family.
Your dad needs reassuring that 'no matter what' he's still the 'greatest' dad in the world.
He needs words of encouragement, and a lot
of love. Maybe you and your mom can get him to see a councelor.
Just love him and be patient with him..

Sweetie sounds like dad is depressed over what has happened. The fact that he has lost so much, and maybe doesn't feel like he can take care of his family. That is pretty hard for a man to take. You and you mom should seek some counciling for the family. It's not easy to handle emotions alone, each of us needs help sometimes. Hugs!

woo school bus driver + kids = stress but even more he may just be really mad a himself because he screwed up and lost everything and can't give his family things they want even though he wants to this can be very stressful but he tries to keep it in so you wont see his hurt maybe he wasn't sleeping he was thinking which turned to worry then feeling sorry &angery when you get angery the other feelings go away so when he's not angrey just try telling him how much u love him & how glad u r that he's ur dad maybe that will help him not feel like he has let you down because if dad feels like he let his family down he gets down on his self and gets mad god luck

It's still A LOT of stress to undergo when you lose something you've worked hard for .... I'm sure it upsets him that he cant provide for his family like he wants or is used too.
Just be patient with him, he'll find his way. Perhaps, you should tell your daddy you love him and ask him if there's anything you can do to make him not so mad?
See what he says.
Hugs,

Your dad is suffering from depression. If he's anything like most people who suffer from depression, he is probably experiencing emotional AND physical pain. If you feel too threatened talking to your dad, maybe see a school counselor, talk to your friends, talk to your mom, your visit websites like www.depression.com or visit Wikipedia www.wikipedia.com to do some research. The best thing for you to do right now is to lay off from your dad a little and eventually, once he cools down, talk to him about his issues. Good luck!

Let me guess... he's bankrupt again.
This time he lost job. Or he might be experiencing menopausal stage for men. I think they call that andropause or something.
