[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - my father was like your husband.  Would at times come home and blow up over nothing and then scream at us and our mother.  Break things.  Tell us that he wanted to leave or die b/c he was miserable.  And not just a one-time thing.  Multiple times.  To the point that we would all cringe when we heard the garage door opening at night b/c we didn't know whether "good" or "evil" side of him would enter the house.

Siblings and I have NEVER forgotten any of those episodes. And despite that the fact parents stayed together, it forever colored how we viewed him, even after his retirement when he mellowed out considerably.  Now that he's gone, those memories still live on.  Unfortunately.

Food for thought.  My sympathies, OP.[/quote]

Same here although my dad is still alive. He can't understand why none of us are close to him but those memories of his rages when we were young are never going away. My husbands and BILs all have a hard time reconciling the man dad is now with the man their wives grew up with but every once in a while the rage resurfaces and they get it.  [/quote]
