sweetsexylove Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 I work for my dad, who is extremely bipolar as it seems to me at least. His irate behavior is followed within minutes by apologies and laughter. He throws things, shreds paper and yells at me in a horrible tone. I can't take it anymore. I don't want anyone's sympathy or solutions. I know what I have to do here, I have to quit. Im just waiting for the right time. But meanwhile I am wondering if being around this type of behavior will I become this way too? Will this affect me?
Lukkyu Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 You will only become that way if you allow yourself to. If it didn't have an affect then you would not have posted.
quankanne Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 my guess is that because you're appalled by his behavior, you're going to do your best to avoid being like that yourself. question: has your dad had a medical checkup to rule out mental imbalance or even diabetes? I know from personal experience that when your blood sugar gets way low, the bitchiness comes out, even when you aren't normally a rude or cruel person. Also, has anyone confronted your dad about his behavior?
Author sweetsexylove Posted April 23, 2007 Author Posted April 23, 2007 I guess your right it does affect me. Yes he is diabetic and doesn't take medication regularly. I know that could be a part of his problem. I wish there was a way to help him. He was emotionally abused by his father, always put down, never praised. Usually he is a happy guy, but somes days I walk in the office and he is on a rampage. Everyone is a target.
