Yes, my stepfather, to the point where he won't let me fix my own mistakes. It can be something as simple as spilling a tiny drop of liquid. I'll then get an earful of how immature I am and how I can't do anything right, as I stand there and watch helplessly as he angrily cleans up after me.

I now dread being alone in the same room with him thanks to this. -_-


He will be regretting it when you don't visit him when he ends up in a nursing home. He will have a lot of time to think of why his kids or other family do not come around to visit him.

I have been there myself, I have been yelled at for honest mistakes and people assuming my ignorance of something was malicious or intentional. I once a manager dress me down with cursing, etc in front of customers because I told her directive as a suggestion and then asked another manager a question that the first manager had made a ruling on it, which I had taken as "small talk/just an opinion" but she took as an overwhelming mockery of her authority and threatened to have me fired for insubordination and refused to hear my side of things or explanations, I was within an inch of quitting the job in tears. The only thing that stopped me was it was very near the end of the shift (30 minutes or so) and quite it together until then.
