[quote=Anonymous]We have family friends and the father is incredibly moody, aggressive and volitile. The wife does her best to diffuse at all times. They have 3 kids under 10. What are the long term ramifications of growing up in this environment?  My child does not like to be around him and is very scared of him. 
I’m very good friends with the wife but I’m at the point where we can’t hang out with them anymore for my own and my child’s well being.  But that selfishly makes me very sad because we love hanging out with the wife and kids. He openly berated his wife in front of us the other day and then I tried to diffuse and he picked a fight with me, so we left. 
But I feel like he somewhat wins because he further isolates his wife from her friends. 
At the end of the day, I want to be supportive but I’m very worried for them. Any advice on what I can do?  Maybe this isn’t for this forum. But I am very concerned about his kids growing up like this and what the long term impact is on their mental health.
