We are on a family holiday in a lovely place. But DH has spent all week shouting at and picking on DS who alternates between playing the fool and being a sensible and serious young man. DH really let fly at him tonight. DS left the room and I found him sobbing in bed. He said his father has turned into a nasty person and he hates him.
DH works abroad a lot and doesn't see much of the children. He doesn't understand that you can't make teenagers do things just by shouting at them. He seems to want to be in control of everything. He lost his temper twice with DS twice today, once for no particular reason. I saw the anger in his eyes. He is alienating his children. How do I get him to listen to them and build an adult to adult relationship with them ?
