Litteraly half an hour ago my dad got back from the bar with my mum. i greeted him in the kitchen and he was shouting and acting agressive. without realising it i stood too close too him (in his personal space) and i was kinda asking him repetitive quesitons. he then got his hand and shoved me. i went into a bit of a meltdown and lost my temper and we had a abit of a scrap and heated argument but we then ended it and decided too call a truce.

a few mintues before my dad came back from the bar i got of my treadmill so perhaps the exercise hight i experience sent me into an agressive rage? I think as well though my father is getting bored of my repetitive questions and beahviour and does not help the fact i have anger management problems since silly little things can set me off but its not common for me and my dad too get into a fist fight even though we have done numerous times in the past.... my brother also attacked my father a few moths ago becuase he kicked him


too be fair i felt a bit agressive as well. maybe its the hot weather or something? i don't have an issue with fighting or anything with my mum or brother but me and my dad seem too clash all the time

what do you make of this whole situation?

Avoid your father when he has been drinking. Also cut down on repeating questions. Yes, it's annoying, and a drunk isn't likely to handle annoying situations well. If you and your father have trouble getting along when he's sober too, then you should try to keep to a different part of the house, as much as possible. If you are old enough, you should also consider moving out.

Yeah defo should avoid my dad at all costs after he has been drinking alcohol.

its one of those situations when i lose control in the heat of the moment even though i know afterwards i should have taken a different approach too the situation.


i think the issue is unlike my bro and my mum my dad can read my emotions all too well and has no trouble winding me up about it.
