My 70 year old father raised his fist to my face. Why? Because I told my child to do their homework. Because I told my child to stay off of their phone. Because I told my child to do something, get ready. And my child did not like that I told them to do that, so they put up a fuss.

And of course its my fault if my child screams and yells. I am a horrible parent.

So within one minute I am told I am a slob (which has nothing to do with the situation) and hit in face, and pointed at, yelled at, told I can do nothing right, its all my fault, etc etc. etc. Oh and then sent to my room!

Yes I am 44 years old. But maybe I am really 12.

Is that abuse?

Yes it is an abusive situation. Can you strive to move out as soon as possible ? If you have no way of doing so on your own , Please look into Domestic shelters and services, they can be very helpful.

Yes, it is abuse. Do you live with him? Sounds like he hasn't accepted you as a grown-up and has anger issues on top of that.

As all said here already, you were abused by him. He is a 70yo nut case with control issues. Get him to move out, and get him professional care.
