Anyone Ever Choke Out Your Dad
So, over the last five years my pops has turned into an awful person to be around. He's slipped into a depression and I suspect that his blood sugar needs some attention, so he's really volatile--particularly when he drinks. Now, he's never physical, but he treats us all like shit and my mom has to deal with that shit. Now, he's threatened to be physical with me when I've told him to be nice, but then I just egg him on and he backs off because he knows he'll be sleeping like an old dog if he tries shit. So, naturally, when I'm around and he starts rallying, it makes my blood fucking boil when my mom starts tearing up because he's being a dick or embarrassing her in front of the neighbors. Usually I'm his verbal punching bag anyway (because my brother has been working overseas for 6 years) and always have been, so this shit bounces off of me. It's just that now it's starting to affect the rest of my family. He's doing this shit to them. I really think I want to choke him out, but I'm concerned about the consequences of that. So, my question is, are there any of you guys that ever choked out your dad? how'd that work out? You guys get along better now? Did it split up the family or bring it together? Any advice is probably excellent advice, so please weigh in.
