My father is always angry - what should I do?

Sit him down. Buy him his favorite food and talk to him. Ask him if something has been disturbing him because nobody is simply angry for no reason. Be it any financial crises,an issue with your mom whatsoever it is he could be reacting to it be being angry. Tell him you love him so much and you're not liking hows he's gotten this short tempered. He will take time to open up maybe he wouldn't on the 1st day itself, but eventually he will.

If he is abusive in that way, you cannot change the way he is. You will need to learn to accept this.

When your father is angry if he is violent he might have difficulty in controlling his anger. He may need extra support. There are many psychologists on 7cups who would be happy to assist him. The best thing you can do to help your dad is to ask him when he is in a calm mood what makes him angry. Don't try to please him but try to not do things that angers him.

Try to talk to him how you feel let him know that you cant deal with him been angry let him tell you whats wrng or find his friend to talk to him

Give him some personal space to calm down for a while, and then try to talk to him in a calm,respectful, civilized manner when he is no longer angry, to see if you may slowly figure out why he gets angry.

Maybe you can talk to him about it or talk to your mom. So you can talk to him that he makes a therapy.

The best thing you can do is stay calm yourself. You never know what is going on with your father, maybe he is stressed with work or relationships. Perhaps you can invite him out for lunch and talk to him and get to know him again. You can be surprised what you can learn about someone when you give some kind gestures, Just remember no matter what happens stay calm. Sometimes people express their anger differently. Try to be understanding.

Dealing with anger is somewhat a delicate issue, especially if it is someone close that you see everyday. I guess calming him down and avoiding to cause him further irritation is important

I would defiantly talk to him about it and ask him why he feels that way. Maybe there is sometbing going on that you could resolve! There's no harm in asking!

You should speak to him about how you feel and give ideas on how to make the problem better. You should acknowledge that if he is willing for change it won't be an overnight process as well. If he is unwilling to change if you know someone who is close to him that can help you should confide in them.

1. try to avoid arguing 2. show care for him 3. always respond quickly when he calls you. 4. try to express your love more often.

That must be hard to deal with. Maybe, sit him down and have a chat with him about his behaviour? If you feel you can't do that maybe ask someone else that he will listen to, to talk to him?

Have you tried asking him why he is angry? How often does he get angry? What is he usually angry about?

I've just learned to realize what really makes my father even angrier and avoid it. The medications that he is on make him constantly angry, and no matter how upset/frustrated I may be over someone/something (not to mention the fact that I'm naturally very sarcastic which can lead to arguments) I've just made sure to try to avoid situations that cause arguments, and I make sure that when things start to get rough, even if I know that I'm right or I'm upset that he's angry with me for seemingly no reason, I just remember that fighting fire with fire doesn't help anyone in the end. I back down and I'll apologize if I have to. I know it may not seem fair, but basically all I'm trying to say is that if you know what makes him even angrier, the best thing that you can do is to avoid it.

Put yourself in his shoes and try to figure out what he is angry about. If it gets too bad, try being calm and collected when you confront him.

when my father is angry, i would try to stay calm and understand why he is mad. if it is my fault or is he having a bad day, then keep a small distance then when he cool off i would show try and jokingly approach him and talk to him. to ease up his anger i would even clean the house and cook for him, to which will make his anger lessen.......some father get a bad day easily when he would see the house a mess.

Hi there, it's quite unfortunate to hear that. Being around people who are always angry or experience heightened emotions can feel like walking around eggshells, not knowing what would trigger their outburst. Certainly is difficult to be around someone who's always angry. I'd like to remind you that even though he's your father, you deserve to have boundaries and compassion. Boundaries aren't relationship breakers, rather relationship strengtheners. When someone's affecting our mood and emotions negatively, bringing out tension and worry, it's so much important to have boundaries with that sort of behavior and emotional reactions. Is communicating with your father how you feel about his behavior an option for you? Please know you can always reach out to listeners at 7 cups to share about how you feel and find a comfortable space for your emotions. You deserve feeling emotionally safe too. 💛
