me and my dad have always gotten into it ever since i was a little kid. we never had the best relationship even though we both wanted to we could just never seem to get along due to us both having anger issues. when we argue he likes to bring up the fact that “im gonna end up just like my mom” to give background my mom was an addict that passed from an overdose recently. this sets me off and causes me to say things somebody shouldn’t say to there father but i feel like it gets to a point. i called him a *** and he got in my face saying to do something and he grabbed my face so i pushed him really hard and it started a fight of us just throwing each other around the house. after the fight i had bruises and cuts on my face neck and chest so i called the police and we both got charged for assault and we have to go to court to see if somebody’s going to jail. i don’t know if what i did was the right thing im just lost and now i could’ve just ruined his life and my entire family’s life it’s gonna throw everything out of proportion and ruin so much for all of us. i just wish none of this would ever happen but it’s common

@aiden123727282 It may be that the court will send you both to anger management classes. It might be that he is feeling fear for your future and maybe anger that your mom is no longer around. It must have hurt, what he said to you. You know, you are not destined to live as an addict or continue to have anger issues. But it is going to take some time for you to learn some new skills. Don’t be too hard on yourself in the meantime.
