My dad gets angry easily and takes it out on family members. How can I help him?

Answer 1

Be his rock and always listen to him. Don't run away look him in the eye. . Always know when to steer clear though give him his space but make him know you care! Be honest but sincere. You know him better than anyone. He more than likely doesn't mean it, it's just words.

Answer 2

what is angry in your book? How is he taking out on your family? Depending on your definition of angry, could it be that he is just tired because he is working to hard and getting little pay for it and what he makes is what support his family? Is it possible that maybe as hard as he tries he can't seem to get ahead or just as he can see light at the end of the tunnel something happens to block that light? Like an emergency or unplanned obstacle of some sort, possibly unforeseen extras that rip his joy away? I believe that you need to seek God and pray for his guidance. I believe that if you look to God for your answer you will be blessed beyond your wildest expectation. Don't let the enemy get you down, fight back, with Jesus on your team, the enemy doesn't stand a chance. Good Luck, MJ

Answer 3

Sounds like he has depression.
Try talking to him when he's in a good mood and suggest he goes to see the doctor.
People with depression often take a long time to realise that there's anything wrong with them, so it may take you a few attempts to get him to agree, but it really is the best thing for him otherwise he'll only get worse.
I would suggest reading up on the illness to help spot any other symptoms he may have and so you can point these out to him:

Answer 4

You can't help him. He likely thinks he is just fine it is the rest of the family that is making him mad by their actions. The best thing you can do is just try not to annoy him, study hard at school, and make plans for the day you can move out. I wouldn't call a social worker to ask questions. With the laws like they have today, you could well accidently find yourself in foster care. And you don't want to be there. Good luck.

Answer 5

I found that if you try and anticipate what it is that makes him angry, and NOT do that, or, instead, try and find something to do what would please him, it would work charms on him.

He may be under a whole lot of pressure that you don't know about. Maybe he and you mom are in a tense situation, and he;'s blowing off steam.
Try and get him to play some active games with you; just suggest them. He may jus need to get rid of some excess energy.
I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

Answer 6

Just ask him whats up.
If hes always been like this then ask him what he gets angry for?
If hes just recently started getting angry then ask him if something has happened.?
And whats upsetting him?
Theres not really much we can do to help though
good luck anyway , take care x

Answer 7

talk to him most of the times dads tend to store up all that emotion without letting others know how they feel. it's a manly thing you have to take him to church umm do something that he'll enjoy, dont buy him beer lol that's a no go.

Answer 8

He has to want to change and then he can get help.
All you can do is be the best YOU can be and hopefully he will do the same. Live your life to the fullest and take every opportunity you can to have a good life. It is the best gift any daughter can give her parents.
