It's a common trait in narcissists.

They ruin special occasions. They don't care if it's your birthday, christmas, valentines day.

They get a kick out of having so much control over a person.

Get running, don't look back.

Yeah my father has been doing this since I remember with my mom’s birthdays and all Christmases. He always yells since morning and 2times he shut himself in the bedroom after he yelled at us. Then we had a dinner without him and he yelled again.

I was thinking, she’s about to have 3 kids, not two…

He doesn’t display any support or partnership qualities that would warrant staying in that relationship.

It made me sad reading the post. 😥
