My father is always angry - what should I do?

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. 💛

It sounds like your father anger is affecting you deeply. That's a usual sign when a person is going through work life imbalance or challenge from social circle or at personal level. In such situations, you cannot control his feelings but your balanced response can control the situation, for instance, you can try keeping your calm attitude in front of him, trying to understand what really triggers his frustration while setting boundaries and protecting your well being. It can be tough when a parent is often angry. Remember, their emotions are not your fault. At the same time, seek help and support either from friends, relatives or counselor.
