Is it normal for my dad to hurt me..
me and my dad are very close, but he is an alcoholic, and he refuses to believe it. and when i was 14 we went to an air show the day after my dog died, and he got drunk. as we were leaving he kept yelling at me and saying stuff. at that time i got sick of all his bull shit and started walking ahead and ignored him when he was yelling at me. but i eventually turned around and he started telling me how he never wants to see me and he hates me. i took off running back to the car and i wouldnt talk to anyone. he finally caught up and started yelling at me and grabbing me and it hurted really bad and i started screaming and my cousin had to run over and pull him off of me and i was crying. then when we got home i was in my room on the phone with my mom to come get me and he came in and started pushing me, slamming me in to the wall and grabbing me and stuff which hurt like hell. then when my mom was there he slammed me into the wall and told me he didnt care about me, he hates me, and all this other stuff. about a week later he apologized. and i forgave him. but every time i think about that day i get really emotional and burst into tears. i have told him that i dont like it when he drinks but he says he wont stop. is it normal that i still get very emotional about that incident? i dont know how to get over it though...any advice is appreciated..
