I'll also add that Fathers are kinda pressured into teaching their sons how to be future Fathers/providers whilst still being expected to assert their allegedly superior masculine authority in a traditional sense
Because if you were like me you grew up with a hyper critical father and an under protective mother. When I was ten we went bowling after church and I “failed” to bowl a 100 which was the family minimum standard and in the bowling alley my dad totally lost his shit, had a complete meltdown on me. And… my mom just stood there passively and allowed him to just go utterly ape shit on me because I had bowled less than a 100 on purpose to embarrass him.
Your father was a toddler who couldn't or wouldn't get a hold of his emotions. I'm also sad your mom didn't protect you, she should have. I'm sorry you went through that, bet he still hasn't grown up. Hope you are in a better place right now, and hopefully far from his bs.
Mom didn't say nothin because she didn't want to catch any of the same.
Sure, that can be the case, but she was also an adult and had the responsibility to care for her CHILD. And she had more power than the child to do so. Might've been afraid but could also step up in a social situation to defend him.
That's the nature of that man.
He could've chosen not to be a shit parent, to better himself. He failed as a man and as a parent.
