You struck a chord or two. Anger, father... Two things...

My childhood was similar. My own father's anger was quite volatile. He's changed a lot now. But when I think of my childhood, his anger is something that definitely comes to mind. He wasn't always angry, but yes, he had a short fuse. He rarely ever got angry at me, but whenever he was angry at anyone, I didn't like it at all.

I'm also not good at handling people with anger issues. It's not that I never get angry, but my anger has never caused harm to anyone.

I believe there should be some compulsory training for such people because it turns into generational trauma. One of my brothers has a similar temper, but he's learned to manage it. And it's a good thing that he broke the cycle.

In my religion, there's a special reward for those who can control their anger. It means not denying the emotion itself, as feeling anger is a natural response. However, managing it is the real strength. There's a saying from our Prophet (S.A.W):

"The strong person is not the one who overpowers his opponent, but the one who controls his anger."
