Did your dad behave this way at work or with his friends? He did not behave like this at work or with his friends. I worked as a teacher at the school he taught at and I never saw this kind of behavior. When we were at work he treated me respectfully.
What was your dad's R with his parents? It seem normal to to me. My mother told me a story that my paternal grandfather told her. My father would not walk down the same side of the street as my grandfather because he did not want to be seen with my grandfather. My grandfather was a cement mason. I don't the reason why but my grandfather told my mother that my father was no good. My father would brag that he was a college educated man.
Did your dad protect his daughters in preference to you and your mum? No, he was harder on me and my mother because we challenged him. My sisters were more complainant so it was easier but he still nagged them.
How was your family home, was it isolated? Suburban ranch style home in a neighborhood 25 miles outside NYC.
We're there close neighbours? The neighborhood homes were on 1 acre lots.
Was it large? 2500 square feet new construction.
In the countryside or town? Neither country or urban, suburbia.
