I think Terry made the right decision about asking his father about his experiences in Vietnam because if he didn't, then he wouldn't know a part of his father's life. The family should know everything about each other, that's how they could deal with things and talk about it. If something's personal, you should be able to feel comfortable talking to someone that you trust and is trustworthy.
In this case, I don't know why Terry's father was holding it in. First, he should've told his wife, she's most trustworthy because well, she's the wife! If he wouldn't tell her, then he wouldn't trust her. If he didn't trust her, then he wouldn't have married her. Both Terry and his mother were worried about him, which meant that they cared. Sometimes talking about things that make you stressed out helps you feel better and glad that you led it out. Keeping thins stuck inside makes you feel sad and angry and stresses you. Terry wanted to know about why his father was acting so strange, and it bothered him. I bet if any of your fathers' were whimpering on the floor in a mall or something like that, you'd ask them what's wrong. And if they didn't tell you or he didn't even tell your mother, you'd get mad and even more curious, just like Terry was.
