The letter from the daughter talking about how her mother screams at her father, could have been written by myself 3 years ago. My mother has always been a harsh woman and unfortunately my father was the one who had to shoulder most of that burden, especially after we all grew up and moved out. Approaching 48 years of marriage together, her rants were getting worse, her criticism terrible, and her attitude just down right mean.
I did confront her. I pointed out how awful she was acting on several occasions but she just ranted more, blamed him for whatever trivial thing he had done, and kept it up. So, after 47 years, 4 kids, 6 grandchildren, and a lifetime together…he snapped and left her. No amount of begging on our part would change his mind and he never returned. She had to face a lot of hard truths and there were times that I truly worried about her hurting herself over her grief. Now, we can’t have them together for special occasions
So, for the woman who wrote in about her parents…beg them to get help. Take your mom to the doctor and have her hormones checked. See if she has early onset Alzheimers as this can also cause unexplainable rages. Ask your father to be a “butt kicking” husband and put his foot down about his wife’s behavior. Do whatever you have to do to help them.
