Well, I cannot really give advice, but I relate to your situation. If you feel comfortable doing so, please try and talk to him at a time when he seems passive enough to approach. If you prefer going indirectly, I'd suggest leaving a note about how you feel for him to read and reflect upon. If things get worse, refer to the 7 Cups resource guide.

It really depends on whether your father is angry at your or at someone/something else. Is your father an alcoholic? If so, make him go to rehab so he can stop drinking so much. If he is not an alcoholic, he's just always angry, you should avoid contact with him. Give him space, stay in your room. However, if he is violent to you, or maybe to your siblings, mother... [etc] report him to the police for disciplinary actions and help on his anger. Violence can lead to many more problems and to someone getting seriously injured.

It’s not easy living with angry people. Every other day, my family members can be heard shouting at or arguing with one another in our living room. My boyfriend, who is currently staying with me, got a taste of the angry environment I have been immersed in when my mom and brother erupted in anger at me over the protein-powder issue. I was in my room with him then when it unfolded; my mom violently knocked on my bedroom door and demanded that I get out right away to clarify on the issue while my brother shouted at me irately upon seeing me, his face filled with absolute rage. While I did not ask my boyfriend how he felt, he was definitely taken aback by how volatile and abrasive my family can be.

Honestly move out if your old enough if they are putting you down. If not set clear boundaries and sometime avoid them to prevent conflicts. get some family therapy to learn how to communicate in a better way

It is important to think of a situation from the other person's point of view. Try to look at the world through their shoes. Compare their behavior to their character. What do they value? What are you failing to do? What makes them angry? If they seem to always be angry, talk to them. Communication is key to solving problems, and it works magic!

Try to stay calm and figure out what helps to calm him down. It's a really unfortunate situation but perhaps you can try discussing the issue with him when he's not upset?

I think you are asking the wrong question here. I think you need some distance and healing before you can safely interact with this man, even if he means well. Others will pop in to recommend books and other resources. I'm simply alerting you to the fact that there are red flags in your question that you are discounting. Your poor dad. He's been this way a long time, and unless he has expressed a desire to change, he'll likely always be as he is. You need to take care of yourself and get some healing and perspective before you can safely interact with your father (repeated for emphasis. see? I'm a broken record on issues like this!) Reframe your thinking on this first, then dealing with him will become much much easier.

try to figure out what are the things that makes him angry , and avoid doing them or making them happen , when your father see that all the things that makes him angry disappear he will be ok ! you just have to figure it out if it was a thought or an idea or an action that makes him so mad like that , after you figure it out , deal with the problem and it will make him calmer!
