you sound like you went thru the same thing i did. its not normal, but its what happened. it doesnt make it right either. my dad was jovial one moment and macho and evil the next. my mother never apologized tho. she was a fighter and i respect her for that. i realize that i have problems with men who act macho as well becuase it reminds me of my father's stupidity. your father sounds like he was abused as a child, which may account for the mood swings. i dont know how old you are, but my advice is to make a plan, stick to it, move out if you are still with him and move on. you may also consider dating someone outside of your normal dating range/criteria. strange as it seems, sometimes we end up being with someone that is just like the parent we despised. your mother sounds like an enabler, which is just as bad as your father's behavior, because it keeps the cycle going. this is so wrong and i'm sorry that you have been going through this. please keep us posted.
Is it normal that my dad always yells at my mom?
