<p>Once my brother beat up my dad over drugs and murdered like half his face. Other than that not really.</p>
<p>How could your brother do that do his own father? Thats like killing God. lol</p>
<p>Yeah I know. He really cried afterwards when he realized what he did. But it's alright.</p>
<p>Every few days we have like 2-3 minutes of really intense screaming matches, then all the tension goes away, and whatever's the issue usually gets resolved. It's probably not the healthiest way, but it's been working fine.</p>
<p>wow rmadden15 it seems like me and you had similiar dads. I actually had an experience just like that on Christmas Eve like 7 years ago, but i wont get into details. The only thing with my dad was that he didnt go to jail right away so my parents separated and my dad would still go to my house claiming its still his and eventually it got to the point where he would come in with a knife and my mom would go outside and yell outside because she knew that he wouldnt dare try somethign outside in front of everyone. My mom eventually got him in jail where he went for 2 years and he still has problems. He doesnt have an alcohol problem just anger problems and hes always paranoid.Hes gotten a lot better though and has been acting pretty cool for a while. The only thing that ****es me off about him is that he denies he ever touched my mom or did anything wrong and that my mom just wanted him out so that she could have the house even though i saw him beat her and hold a knife to her multiple times with my own eyes. I still cannot and will never forgive him for what hes done and i think always hate him for it</p>
<p>^ That is horrible. I mean really bad. I know my dad is bad, but I could never imagine him trying to kill my mother.</p>
<p>we never have any serious fights in my house..it's usually b/c my dad starts the fights and he yells about the most stupid things, like the meal, my room, how i stay too often in my room, how i watch too much tv when i'm not in my room, why i don't every talk to him, why i don't ever do my homework with my dad so he can tell me how to do everything b/c obviously i can't even do my own homework correctly..you know, just the normal fights... sometimes they(the parental units) like to get overly stressed about money, etc. and they take their anger out by picking on really stupid petty things to scream about...</p>
<p>usually, i just put on some headphones and listen to my music, so i don't really know what they say.</p>
<p>but i have to say, some of you guys have it really scary at home..i just find my home pathetic, so...</p>
<p>my dog trys to fight me but she only weighs 4 pounds so I'm at a disadvantage.</p>

This might not count really, but our neighbors are ridiculous. The man is an alcoholic with a handlebar mustache and his wife has a short temper and never leaves the house. They get physical about once a week, and sometimes I hear them from my window. They throw pots, pans, whatever is in their kitchen. They have children, 6 and 8, and my dad usually goes over and gets them out of the house. I'm thankful that's never happened to me - seeing their kids is heartbreaking enough. The 6-year old is just empty. I can't explain it but you can probably imagine.</p>
<p>And yes, we called authorities so they'll never get the chance to hurt their children. They've hurt them enough without hitting them at all.</p>

<p>^ That is sick. No child should have to go through that.</p>

I keep wondering if that mustache is significant... :]</p>
<p>^ It is an image thing. Handlebar bar mustahes are much scarier that steeringwheel mustaches.</p>
<p>I wonder if all this is a baby-boomer thing, or if it's this huge a problem through history and I just don't know about it.</p>
<p>When my teenage brother and I fight, it's scary. I'm a few years older than him but we both love martial arts and all sorts of fighting styles, and we're well matched sparring partners. We definitely fight for real quite often. We are both quick to snap and "quick to get over it". We'll **** each other off and get black eyes about once a week. We're actually really close so we don't hurt each other too badly (nothing potentially fatal, and we usually pull our blows) but the last fight we had ended with him holding me up against the wall with my neck in a REALLY tight chokehold while I had my knife pressed against his stomach. We called it a draw and both backed off. We generally start by screaming at each other than one of us throws a punch and it progresses from there. He's actually one of my best friends. I think it's because we don't stay angry at each other- we just let it out.</p>
<p>I don't think I've ever had a real fight with my dad. We disagree but either ignore each other or talk it out.</p>
<p>My mom is feisty like me. She goes around starting fights with the rest of our family. I can kick her butt, though. She rarely goes after me, and when she does it's just hairpulling catfight-like stuff so I have her on the ground in an instant. I'm actually really close with my family, and I wouldn't change a thing about the way we fight with each other.</p>
<p>^ thats kind of unheard of and psychotic, you could kill each other</p>
<p>no, we don't fight full force. It's more the threat than actually hurting each other.</p>
<p>but what if you guys are really ****ed off, and one of you stabs the other in the heart or something? lol</p>
<p>lol we love each other too much for that :)</p>
