Was my dad's behavior in Episode 1212 - Eddie Huang and Family Dynamics Explored a result of being hurt, or was it something else? He was nice to me while trying to manipulate me, but when that didn't work, he became aggressive and called me the worst things.
I have a question about this episode Episode 1212 - Eddie Huang and this Family Dynamics Explored. I realized that my dad was just nice to me while knocking on the door to get something from me. But as soon as he noticed that I wasn't going to open and that his emotional manipulation didn't work, he started calling me the worst things he could think of and became extremely aggressive. I think this was his true face. Was it just him being hurt, or was it something else? I don't think so.
