I Want To Say This To My Dad I yelled at my father the other night and he broke into tears....

Heartlander · 80-89, M

If I had to guess, he was crying over his sense of helplessness over whatever was upsetting you to the point of anger and yelling. My dearest memories of my children was rocking them when they cried, and easing their fears and frustrations. Comforting them when they were in need. That feeling never goes away. My daughter is now 40, and I would probably also cry if I couldn't help her or comfort her through a tough transition or episode.

A dad's love will withstand that hurt. Reach out to him, it will warm his heart to know how sorry you are.

It sounds like he is a sensitive guy. I am sure he does not want you to feel guilty. I am sure he is a resilient man who knows how much you love him. Don't discount his strength.

Please don't beat yourself up to badly. All of us say things we regret afterwards. I am sure he will understand and accept your apology.

You tend to hurt the ones you love. I am sure your father has unconditional love for you and you two need to talk. Initiate a conversation with him. I wish I had before my father passed away. :(

Go to to him, Talk to himself

Go to him, talk with him, cry with him, share with him, do what it takes, you won't have him forever.

You can't undo harsh words. Drowning yourself in guilt won't change what's past. Take a lesson from this ... carpenters say 'Measure twice, cut once,' meaning you should be sure to. verify your goal before picking up the saw. Same is true of arguments. Stop and think, angry or not. Measure your words.

Other than that, your father loves you and has likely forgiven you already. Chances are he made similar mistakes when he was young.

Hope You apologized in person as well. If not, you must for your peace & his health.

I’m sure he forgives you, just talk to him. We all make mistakes.
