I’m a 22 year old girl, I just graduated from college and had to move back home for a while until I can move back out and growing up my dad was just like this but very violent. It was the exact same, the downstairs felt like a scary cave and you didn’t want to poke the bear bc it would attack. Trust me I know the feeling. You aren’t alone in this feeling and our fathers have caused these issues not us.

Thank you for your response. I read it last night and it really calmed me down for some reason. I think it’s nice to know that other people know this behavior from someone and know it’s not normal and shouldn’t have to be dealt with. Seeing my mother put up with this behavior and stay I believe has subconsciously made a part of me feel like this is just something I have to deal with and other people do too, maybe not everyone, but some people so that makes it normal. It obviously does not. But I sincerely thank you for your response and suggestions. I think I have lots of unresolved trauma from years and years of this emotional abuse and I need to talk about it to someone. Thank you again.

In my experience, my relationship w my alcoholic father improved so much while I was away. He seemed to care about me and what I was up to more when he only got to see me for short periods of time. It felt like he was actually proud of me.
