How do I help my dad not be such a shitter?
You are currently reading a thread in /adv/ - Advice
Everything agitates this man, and it's been getting worse over time. A lot of mood swings as well. One moment he'll be pissy in a way I wouldn't even accept from a stranger and the next he won't be.
It's not just about me though, I couldn't care less how he treats me. I'm more worried about his psychological help. He's very conservative, dismissive, and a bit dumb. He would never seek out help himself. What can I do to help? He's 50 something and I'm in my 20s by the way.

My dad is similar. But he's very intelligent, very stubborn, and very angry over his life. And when people try to comfort them, he smart asses them into discomfort.
I have quite honestly given up and just depersonalize his fits of rage. I've tried in the past and my dad says he's too old to change. He's not willing to help himself, so anything I do is meaningless.
The only thing I still do is support him when he's being reasonable and ignore him when he's not.
In men, depression often manifests as anger and tantrums. We live in a society where it's more socially acceptable to rage than to cry.
It makes getting treatment difficult.

That's really sad.
Smoke weed or do 'shrooms with him.

I guess you missed the "very conservative" part.
He'd probably legit die if he did shrooms, through some means or another.
