I just went back and read some of your past posts. you said your father is 70 yrs old. all your other posts also reflect the same problem over and over again. somehow this 70 year old has punched you. Im wondering why you live with your father. is this a situation where your father is not able to take care of himself due to health issues.. and you are his legal guardian because he can not live alone.... if so heres another suggestion... maybe you can talk with his doctors, explain to them that he has become violent. they will do a mental and physical health assessment to see if he can take care of himself, knows what he is doing when he is violent and if not have him committed to a nursing home or mental facility. that way you will not be responsible nor close enough for this 70 year old man to punch you. you can also have his treatment providers recommend an agency that can do in home care. this is when a nurse or aid comes into the home to take care of those that are unable to care for their self.

another thought. he is 70 years old. that means theres a high likely hood that he has taken part in some wars or armed services. noise for veterans is very triggering, reminds them of when they were in the armed services. even chilrens high pitched voices can trigger a 70 year old man or veteran to have startle reflex or PTSD.

it might be a good thing to teach your children to use their inside voices when in the house and if they want to yell and holler go outside. your doctors can also give you and your children ways to handle being your parenting issues while living around a 70 year old elderly person sensitive to noise.
