That sucks for anyone who has to go through abuse of any kind.
My dad did the whole jekel and hyde thing because he was very loving, and i believe he really does love us kids. However, he would drink and get violent and mean. Rough up my mom, etc.. He would always get the better of me when i was younger and smaller. When I was about 16-17 i finally had some size to me and during one of his fits i told him i wasn't afraid anymore and basically told him to bring it.
He overwhelmed me at first but i was younger and fitter and hung in there. I ended up beating him pretty soundly for which to this day I am ashamed and sad for. Two times he was knocked down and it should have been over with but he wanted to keep going so in my rage i obliged him. I'd like to think that I beat it out of him but i know better. He never tried me again. I wish i could take the whole thing back, but anybody who has been threatened like that kind of understands. My step mother called the police on me and the cops came - they said it was "mutual combat" so no charges were filed. My dad was sent home the next day from work because of his appearance. It was a terrible time in our life.
AP might do well to remember some of the beatings he got as a child. Because his child might come back one day and have something for him...
