Another wise post on this forum - it goes both ways, if someone is set off by something, their reaction is on them, its their responsibility to work on not getting triggered.

About 3-4 months back I reacted to my father's triggering me and my mom ended up in getting hurt in trying to separate us and I ended up in the psychiatric hospital for over 3 months.

I will have to find wiser ways to deal with this trigger. After my return from the hospital I thought that my father had changed but NO. My father tried to embrace me inside the bank atm. After that I stopped being chatty with him. Now I talk to him only when it is necessary. I try to ignore him as much as I can.
