I’m mainly asking about my dad. He really doesn’t show any emotion as far as affection goes. If he tell someone something that pisses them off he really doesn’t care (or shows that he does). I know in his past (as a child) his dad was never around and when his dad was around he would abuse him. So his mom had to take care of them. His mom isn’t really the affectionate type either, and in away she is kinda heartless (harsh but true). She just looks for material things or the values of stuff instead of sentimental. And if my dad sees that my mom is giving affection to me or one of her grandchildren he get mad. Like a jealousy kind of mad.
Now don’t get me wrong my dad as actually come along ways as far as his anger and stuff, but it’s still there. (He never hurt me or anything he in all the important ways has been a really great father) I really just want to know why he can’t show emotion or why it’s so hard. Thank you for taking the time to read this and answer:)

Men are taught by society that showing emotions is a sign of weakness. Plus the fact he was abused when he was younger and his mother wasn’t affectionate towards him plays a huge role to your father’s inability to show any emotions.
