Welcome to PC. Underneath anger and violence is hurt. Because you were abused and controlled, if you feel someone is trying to do the same again your defenses come up straight away .... you really need a good therapist to help you work through these issues. I'm so sorry you had to endure the bullying and abuse from your father. It hurts when someone who is supposed to love and protect you acts this way, my mother was the same, and to some extent throughout childhood so was my dad. Easier said than done, but when you have these feelings of anger and want to hit out, walk away until you have calmed down. Break the cycle of abuse by not following in your dads footsteps..... i wish you well, lots of care and keep reaching out here. There are some wonderful people with good advice on this forum ......

safe hugs, Jinnyann xoxoxoxoxoxo
