My dad has a very dangerous temper and he's either violent or dead-silent when he's angry. There's nothing in-between. So when I get him mad at me, I would rather he doesn't show up for months than dodge the things he attempts to throw at me. I experienced receiving a blow of an angry hand, belt, phone, glass of water, bottle of lotion, and anything that's within his reach most of the time, the reason for this is when I "disappoint" him by not listening to the plans he lays out for me. So I grew up having a boss-employee-like relationship with my father. Hitting your kid for discipline isn't always good. It's a trauma for some.
