There are two possibilities: either you are giving him the reason to be angry all the time or he is unfair to you and you do not deserve being treated like this. If you do, then change your behavior if not then tell him to change his. Talk to him. Like a son/daughter and father would do it.

This may not be the best thing to do, but stay calm no matter what. Kind words affect fragile people. It takes time to do so, but it's worth it when the person is precious to you. So, better take it easy than making it worse by acting the same way your angry dad does.

Your father's anger is no reflection on you. If he seems to be more irate than usual, I would go and find a safe place to hang out until he calms down.
If he ever gets too angry and you feel he may come to try and hurt you, I would call 911 immediately.

You should try see why's he is angry if it's for no reason try talk to him and ask why is he angry all the time. If that does not work and he is violent contact your local council service

Advice from me wont change anything, but my father is mad a lot too. All I try to do is stay on his good side and if he starts to yell or gat angrier, I just put some space between us so he can cool down. Whatever you think would help.

Try to talk to him! Tell him you are worried that he is angry all the time and he might be able to calm down.

Well, YOU are the child in the family. I know at times it seems like you need to do something about some situations but you need to remember that issues your parents are having should not be your responsibility. This goes for anyone. In my case. My dads addiction to alcohol is not my problem to deal with and if I do try to do something about it, it does nothing but bring me down.

Have you considered talking to him about it? That is one solution. Also, you could talk to a trusted famly member about how you feel towards his anger. What's causing his anger? Could you help fix it? Hope this helps. :) You aren't alone.
