Time To Get Personal: Family Matters

[DoctorFrankenStein]

[He won't even recycle trash, he doesn't give a fig for the environment. The man once buried a busted motorcycle in the yard and burned an entire truck camper shell because he couldn't be bothered to take them to the dump.]

That is nasty, I hope everyone reading this actually recycles, and when your brushing your teeth, turn off the fucking water.

Now I'd always gotten the belt from him if he thought I was 'disrespecting him' but he got really physical with me and the altercations got a lot more frequent.
The man is a complete psychopath. He's extremely bi-polar and cannot control himself in any way shape or form.

Thank you for bearing your soul, but is you father bipolar?

bipolar people are normally aggressive none physically, at least thats my experience anyway. If you want to discuss this further I'm but a PM away!

He's a horrible person and I'm ashamed to be related to such a thoughtless brute. And he's just like his father too.

Hopefully you can be the better person and not be violent, both towards others and your farther, after all being aggressive towards him only compounds the problem, justified violence is still violence.

edit: I chopped off your comments, apologies.

That's okay. Bi-polar is his excuse, it's what he's being medicated for. [Amongst other things. Diabetes, heart problems, pain meds for carpal tunnel, ect ect. He's in his late 50's.]
But his side of the family is just like that, they're emotional vampires and born manipulators. And when they don't get what they want, they hit. With whatever is easy to hand. He can't really get away with hitting me anymore, because I'll fight back if I feel threatened. [He's easily twice my size.] So he just abuses me verbally instead and occasionally charges at me and tries to grab my arms or screams at me until I have a splitting headache.
Normally I'm only aggressive in my BDSM mode. And the worst I've ever hurt Spirit was tearing up his back with my fingernails.
I had anger issues as a kid because I got picked on a lot. [It was mostly self-defense.] But I'm a lot more chilled these days. Once in a blue moon I'll get really angry for no apparent reason and I usually handle this by telling Spirit directly that I'm not rational right now and that he should give me some space until it passes. And then going somewhere alone to meditate until it goes away. [Usually an hour or so.]
I think they probably all had/have the same thing, but not the self-awareness to realize that it is irrational, or the self-control to not just take it out on anyone present.
