I'm glad you posted this littlefish becasue this is a mistake a lot of folks make. Being miserable and depressed and hating the world DOES NOT lead to abusive behaviours, nor does it EXCUSE them.
You always have a choice how you decide to treat another human being. This man is CHOOSING to act abusively.
