Is it normal i want to beat up my father?

I hate my father and would like to beat him black and blue. He is permanently an asshole to my mother. Insults her, yells at her over nothing, hits her. I can't take it much longer, I want to punch him in his ugly face so bad.

Whenever I see him, my hands and lower jaw tighten and I have to try hard not to be just like him.

Is this normal? I've already been told I'm a hothead....

    Normal to have hostile feelings toward your father, but yours sounds like a real a**hole. Get out of there asap, and report him for spousal abuse.

    I assume you're a guy. Most men who grow up in an environment where their primary male role model was a violent man will tend to feel a strong urge to try to solve conflicts with physical violence. It can be very difficult for them to move past this.

    As a rule, I think physical violence should be avoided as much as possible. However, I also think there are situations where it's entirely justified and it can have positive results. Your father is obviously an abusive bully, and sometimes the only language bullies comprehend is physical violence. But you need to think carefully about the possible consequences of you getting into a physical fight with your father, and whether there might be ways for your mother to remove herself from the nasty situation she finds herself in.

    It's normal but not normal to want to fully beat him up.

    If he truly did these terrible dark things to you then cease contacts with him.
