It’s also possible to be a bad parent even with little trauma. For example if you’re working off faulty advice like “leave children cry alone till they stop” then you will be inflicting pain onto your children even with good intentions. Think education and parental skill building is key. You have to pass a test to drive a car. Not so with raising a baby.
Hmm. As hard as it is I think tactical empathy with the guy would have been a better starting point to get him to actually change. He probably carried that angry energy back to his daughter after being confronted.

Loved that you did something, not nothing and possibly changed his ignorance ❣🙏
