re: Parent Problems looking for advice

That sucks man. I'm sorry to hear that. To your question: cut him out. You need to be the husband and father to your wife and daughter that we wasn't to your mom and you.

You need to protect your family from abuse, whether it's verbal or physical abuse and regardless of who is causing it. In my opinion your dad has had his chance, and even if he "improves" he will always have the chance of reverting to the a-hole he is.

Be the man for your family he wasn't.
