You didn't mention if this was also present in childhood but assuming that it was present, I would think the father has some mental disorder ie depression or bipolar disorder or has a personality disorder (likely antisocial). Alcohol or drug use might also be present but even that is usually masking depression or bipolar d/o. Freud would probably say something else.

Because they were treated like that at that age...but if they were a real man, they would grow up and self-reflect and say " just because i was treated like doesn't mean i have to treat my children the same way"

Excellent question, easy answer. They are simply following the example set by the women in their lives.

Because, unlike mothers, they stop seeing you as children once you are grown up.
