My dad gets violent. He yells and screams and starts to ransack and break things. This has been going on since Iwas little. Lately he's been starting to do these things again and it really worries me because he's so violent. To the point where I'm considering moving because his fights with my mom lead to so much destruction. Last night he broke the closet door, her door, her mirrors and took the fuses out of the car so we couldn't leave today while he was at work. Im wondering if I should call the police on him if the same thing happens tonight. It's really scaring me. I live in California and it looks like the laws only state physical harm to a spouse or child, but I really don't know what to do. Im literally out on a limb, questioning if I should move in with my gfs parents while he's at work or doing something else.
I think you should report him for this kind of behaviour if you feel your life and mom's life is being threatened. that's what i think though.
I'd call the police. If it's at the point where you don't feel safe at home, that's a definite sign to call or at least talk to somebody.
Call the police immediately. This could escalate into a serious situation. Physical harm or not, don't wait for it to get to that point.
I mean it's to the point where he's literally disabling the car in order to control me and her. It's terrifying.
yea call the cop's.
The least you can do is have the cops show up for him breaking your stuff. It could be you next.
Im just worried If they don't do anything. Then he'll change his anger towards me

Then call them again. :v:
Most likely they will help though, that's what they are there for.
If they start fighting again like they did last night I'll call the cops. At the very least they'll probably talk to them both
Question. You didn't mention it in the first post but is your dad an alcoholic? because that can be a contribution to all the anger and violence.

No, he's not.
How old are you? If you're under 18 and there's a good chance of potential child abuse (and in this case they'd consider it so), they'd definitely intervene. If you're over 18 I'm sure they'd still help, domestic violence laws are there for a reason. Maybe call the cops while he's away so they're there when he returns.

I'm 20, im home from college during the summers. I suppose what's going to happen is i'm going to move in with my GF's parents, if it happens again. From there i'll do the best i can to get my mom out of here. That's assuming a few things, though.
My dad was like this. I kicked the shit out of him and moved out in the same day.
