Is this normal behavior from a father?

Anonymous

Yesterday my dad was complaining to me about the heat. My mom pays utilities and she keeps the heat low because it's really expensive. So we have to bundle up to keep warm. I'm used to wearing layers but my dad likes to complain about how cold it gets.

It does get cold in the house but we aren't really rich to afford it so I get it. So that's what I tried to explain to my dad and he instantly got angry at me for not taking his side. He asked why I am against him and why I don't respect him.

He says I talk to him like he's a p. o. s. I could tell he was getting out of hand and I tried to leave but he wouldn't let me. He kept shoving me back saying he's not done talking to me and I can't run away.

But I pushed my way through and I wanted to go somewhere where I could lock the door and be free from him and he started making fun of me he said, "Go run to your mommy. Good go, go cry to her." I tried to ignore him.

I hid in my house from him for like two hours. I came out to get food because I was hungry and as soon as I step out my dad starts again.

And I kept telling him to leave me alone but he just kept calling me pathetic and he said I'm a bully and that I don't respect him. I ran away again from him and hid in my bedroom with the door locked.

He was calling me a psycho and crazy through the door. I was covering my ears yelling for him to leave me alone I was close to crying and I was shaking. I've been in here all day I haven't gone out for food which all I had all day was a hard boiled egg. I'm starving but I don't want him to come after me again.

But he seems to have calm down though because I could hear him laugh at something on the tv. A part of me is depressed like I don't feel like eating. I just want to know if this is normal behavior? He treats me like this almost all the time.
