Is it ok for dad to threaten violence over you?

Thanks for reaching out and offering your opinion. Sorry to hear about your messy relationship with your dad.

My relationship with my dad, most times, is cordial. I wouldn't say we were in a great relationship but we get along most of the time.

I would again throw this out as him being angry or defending my wife but this again isn't his first time. He threatened violence over much simpler things. I don't know if he would actually act on these words but I don't want to test it or even consider that.

Part of that anger resides with my mom who doesn't stick up for me when hearing these words or preventing these threats. I feel partly that I am overreacting which is the point of this post.

Thanks again for your thoughts!
