The Question:
Okay so yesterday I was arguing with my dad and we got into it pretty bad and… I smacked him as hard as I could in the face, and he started crying! I started to laugh because I never seen my dad cry before not like that…..Just wondering if I took it too far? What should I do? This isn’t the first time this has happened. Where I smacked him, it’s been on several occasions but I can’t control my anger, and I just did this same thing last week! Should I feel bad? Because I really don’t! I am enjoying the rest of my night drinking, hanging out back in my house after the fight, and I feel good right now. I am 28 and he is 86! Let me know your opinion please.
Additional Details
I mean he deserved it, he was talking crap and making me mad so I busted him in the freaken mouth….A little blood busted his lip pretty good, but he’ll be alright. Just another day in paradise couldn’t ask for more.
My Response:
Dear Smacked;
I think you need to get help on your anger issues and I think that what you are doing is not only cruel to your father but just plain out mean! You are taking advantage of your Dad, being 86 years old and the fact that he doesn’t turn around and smack you in the face right back just astonishes me. If I were your dad, I would have not only smacked your a@# back but I would have told you that if you cannot control your anger to get out of my house. You live in his house right? If you do not like his rules you are 28 years old, get out and live on your own. What you are doing to your dad is not only wrong but abusive. You need to control your anger now before it gets worse. This is not OKAY and this NOT Normal behavior. I don’t care if he called you 10 million names and put you down, that does not make it okay to smack your dad in the mouth and make him bleed. You are very lucky that your dad does not hit you back or kick you out of his home. Good luck with taking care of that anger, I really hope you do because you are going down the wrong path.
