I'm posting this here as I'm raising a son, and although I know that that might not be the most relevant thing (his sex, I mean), I do wonder if it's something important.
Did any of you have an angry father? Angry towards your mother, and the world, but not really to you? If so, how did it affect you? And your view of/relationship with your mother?
DH is an angry person. Not physically, but his mood is very apparent, and he is stompy (kind of silently fuming but obviously so) and also very critical in a sort of low key way.
I worry about how my son (nearly 2) will be affected by this. DS has always been very attached to me, but is just recently getting much more interested in his dad. DH is VERY sweet and patient with DS, but he is quick to anger over tiny things, and he is very critical of me almost constantly.
Did any of you have a dad like this? If so, did you resent your mum? Did you feel insecure? Or was it OK? Was there anything good or bad that your mum did that made things better or worse?
