[quote=Anonymous]OP my father was like this - it is 100% misogyny. If he's not doing it at work and to his friends and to the store clerk and postmaster, he's doing it to you because on some level he hates and disrespects women, including the one who probably does most of the housework and who bore his children. It's disgusting.

My brother grew up to be the same kind of husband because our mother never challenged our father - but she did die about 20 years earlier than her family history of longevity would suggest she should have. It's extremely stressful to live walking on eggshells waiting for the next tirade and to live in the absence of affection but the presence of constant contempt.

After 30 years of watching my parents marriage I estranged myself from them - my mother had cried on my shoulder from the time I was preteen every time he abused her, but when he and my brother abused me in the same way, she would get snide and basically tell me to suck it up. After 30 years I had almost as much contempt for her as I did for my father and brother.

If you have a daughter, what in the world do you think she is learning from this? And don't pretend your kids don't know. You're a fool if you think that.[/quote]
