My father came home from umpiring all day today and we walked the dogs, then when we came home, he wanted to clean up the kitchen. So he's emptying the dishwasher and I'm standing there deciding what to do and he gets aggravated and begins to yell at me to do something. So I go to the island and begin picking up things and asking what to do with them. He gets more aggrivated and yells at me to knock it off and stop trying to agitate him, like he says I always do. Which leaves me baffled. I was just trying to help clean up and genuinely didn't know where some of the stuff went.

I had a paper in my hand and I put it down like he tells me to and he just blows up at me for messing with things and not cleaning. I decide I just can't handle anymore of this aggrivation and I gather my things and leave to shut myself up in my room.

He comes after me and opens my door to yell at me some more and demand that I clean my room or he'll throw my things away.

I'm so upset at this point I call my mother who's at a wedding reception and she is now on her way home. I've also barricaded myself in my room because I don't feel safe from my father's anger. He's hit me before, he might do it again.

He's got a super stressful job and it really gets to him. It's so unfair he'd yell at me like that. He's also dealing with mom being unhappy and a good possibility of her moving out.
