How Do You Cope With A PARANOID Father? by Saintdan0421(m): 6:24pm On Mar 14, 2020 |
My dad over 70 years+ is a perfectionist,in my whole life i've never seen any mean human like him, this is a man you can never please. He finds fault in everything you do. In short he's a saddist. Growing up was hell with him, hardly would a week pass without him quarreling with my mum (his wife) and raining insults on her, sometimes it get physical. Well, i earlier believed that as he aged, he'll change but to no avail cause he is now worst. Sitting him down advising him as well as praying for him has no effect on him. Has any one experienced this? Pls share your views and profound solutions if you got one. |

At his age, there is nothing much that can be done. Just make provisions for your mum to spend time away from him, intermittently. |

Mindlog:Don't think my mum will want to do this now after enduring all these years. |

Have you sat down to discuss this attitude of his with him? Maybe a past experience is affecting him psychologically. Some people are mean, because they grow up with people who were always mean to them. |

Saintdan0421: It could be. Just keep showing him love and care. When he flares up, don't raise your voice either. Just be calm and always assure him everything is under control 1 Like |

Make your mum happy n comfortable that's all. Make sure he never raises hands on her. He can never change at this stage. Those who support the man's behavior should kindly read my signature. 5 Likes |

Saintdan0421: With what you shared in your first post, there is high marker that your Dad's perfectionism is an indication of Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). Go read it up. |

Mindlog: Just had a quick skimming of the afforementioned disorder. Well said, he exhibits over 75% xtics of the OCPD. |

They hardly change. People around them just adapt. Funny enough, they are very emotional. They always attract and marry meek ladies who will tolerate their excesses. As he is getting older, try and make his life easier for him even if he is driving you crazy. Ur takeaway is not behaving like him. I applaud your mum. She is an Amazon. |
