@Transy Bro first thing he is not abusing his kid at a level of excessive trauma one you are literally exaggerating it, I don't know your brought up background but parents specially who are strict do use measures like punishing kids through beating or making them stay at their room of which I still say that actions are not justified specially in general style, over here it's totally a psychological stressed father who is obviously going to prioritise his son life over his actions, and being honest his son is also not very innocent he has bare communication relationship with his father blaming him for all, I can get it with a point that he lost his mother at an early stage so he is not fully matured to deal with these situations or how to communicate so is the father with all those trauma. But

@Jonghoseok I feel like the reason why his son hates/blames him is because his dad is an alcoholic which alcoholics usually harm the people around them. Which it can effect the son and in the next chapter, it's in implied that his dad has done this before. Like I said before, you can feel bad for him but don't use the "what in the world will expect from a father psychological stressed for over 10 years" "Just imagine the utter fear during that time the father must suffered" because that is reason why I'm thinking that your excusing his behavior. When you look at both sides, the father does have trauma from his partner's death and he uses alcoholic to cope with trauma while the son is understandably upset at him for locking him up even though that he is an adult and should make his own decisions. And when he told his dad (who is drunk) about his mom, instead of listening to him, he yells at him, hits him, and locks him in a room with no means to escape. With that in mind he is an abusive alcoholic dad, he may have good intentions in mind but doesn't mean that he is in the right. His dad is not a victim for abusing his son, he's only a victim when he was at his wife's death. I am saying this as a emotionally and physically abused victim.
