I’m 24 living in a conservative country and my family is traditional. Our family ties are still very strong, but with a downside. As far as I can remember, my father has been angry and violatent with me.

Now looking back at my teenage years it has affected my self esteem and confidence a lot. I was a beta. But I overcame it by exposing myself to different environments constantly, creating my own business and gaining economic independence.

He’s definitely better and more respectful than he was, but often gets angry and controlling. Calling me when I’m late to home, being mad if I’m later than usual. He can literally go crazy angry sometimes on mundane issues. I’m trying to avoid spending time with him subconsciously just to avoid situations like this and he complains that I work in my room without any interaction.

I’m writing this because he called me asking if I did something he asked me to do earlier, and I did it few hours late. He screamed and yelled and cursed. Don’t know how to deal with it when I get back home. Really need advice on short term and long term.
