of the emotional angle

Hi,

That’s the kind of guy I am: cool and collected. That moment to come, though, has come. Not one of my fellow fathers warned me of the emotional angle of this traumatic moment. It’s nothing I have ever experienced to this dramatic degree ever before.

(This comes from huffingtonpost.com A Father’s Pre-Empty Nest Post-Partum Mess by Norris J. Chumley, Ph.D. on 07/03/2010.)

I wondered if 'of' should be changed to 'from', that is, from the emotional angle.

Thanks in advance!
Thank you, but do you mean '... warned me of/about '? If yes, what does 'of' mean in "the emotional angle of this traumatic moment"?

I thought the sentence meant '... warned me '
A warned me of B means that B is a risk and A told me about it.

Sorry, but I still don't understand it. Do you mean 'my fellow fathers warned me of two things: they warned me of the emotional angle and they warned me of this traumatic moment'
If yes, what does 'of' mean in "the emotional angle of this traumatic moment"?
It refers to the emotional angle that this traumatic moment has.

Not one of my fellow fathers warned me of the emotional angle of this traumatic moment.
Not one of my fellow fathers warned me about the emotional angle that this traumatic moment has.
Not one of my fellow fathers warned me about the emotional angle to this traumatic moment.

Or to put it another way:
Not one of my fellow fathers warned me that this traumatic moment has an emotional angle.
