I'm not sure what to say hun but (((big hugs)))

Maybe just try telling your dad in a calm voice that this whole situation is getting out of hand and making you feel uncomfortable.

Sorry I doubt that helped much.

If this is a serious post from baby peppie - I would lie low - until he HAS calmed down (hours or days I dont know). Then when he is in a chatty mood - talk to them BOTH and tell him how upset and scared you were by his behaviour.

Tell him that you love them both and it upsets you to hear them not getting on like that

Not sure if this is serious but just in case it is, please call Childline for free either from the home phone when no one is listening or from a phone box 0800 1111.

write him a letter and express your feelingd give it to him when hes calm dont say anything nasty just express how scared he makes you. If they are going to row just walk out of the house if you really think he is going to hit your mum get another relative maybe an uncle into your home to calm him down let us know how it goes love, how old are you by the way you sound so young

parents should never behave this in front of the kids. i am sorry to hear your experience.

just tell your dad frankly, but very gently, that his voice and gesture make you scared and helpless. if he loves you, he may do some effort to behave himself.

warm hugs.

Your dad is going to need a little bit of space so just wait till hes ok then talk to him about fun things the 2 of you can do together and maybe he'll be ok!
