Could constantly fighting parents and a miserable mother who was always nagging and cooped up at home cause a child to have so much anger in his adult life?

For example, a man in his 50s showing rage, pain and anger at one moment but love for his mother the very next moment confuses someone who has never had parent issues. How common/normal is that? Living with your parents but being raised by your aunt, could that bring on so much anger?

Yep. Or, y’know, a girl in her late 20s. Whatever.
Humans are in no way so predictable that we can determine future behavior based on upbringing or surroundings. They always surprise us. In the same way, it’s even less possible to figure, “If he’s feeling ‘this’ way, it must be because ‘that’ happened to him when he was younger.”
Sometimes people are crazy and insane when nothing in their past would have predicted that, and sometimes they’re angels when that could not have been foretold.
Oh, yes. Children have nowhere to go with their anger.
It seems that the answer to your question is embedded in the question itself.
Not only learned behavior/anger but also anxiety, which causes anger defense too.
There is no way to predict how a person will react to the way they were brought up. Some will come through it with no visible issues to resolve in their life, and others could use counseling to come to terms with their inability to cope.
Counseling will help some people and not others. The only known method to resolve the issues we face is trial and error.
If he’s 50 and still living at home with his parents can cause anyone a number of anger issues. It is probably more about feeling like a failure than it is a parental issue.
