My dad was like this, and I got the brunt of it. He'd deliberately drive me to tears and then get angry because I was crying and 'give me something to cry about' - a good spanking before being sent to my room. He also complained of me crying and called me 'waterworks'. It was utterly horrendous. He didn't do it to anyone else. Just me. I was the oldest and the one with 'victim' plastered a cross my forehead. The school bullies targeted me too. It was relentless. I wished I'd never been born. My dad was totally out of order. I'm sorry yours made you feel bad too. Some people should never be parents.
