Is it normal that my dad wants to control me and gets angry if i didn't listen

My dad gets angry over little and big things , he likes to control me , he used to tell me to change my clothes or put something on ,when i wore a sleevless shirt (even though i used to be over 24 when he used to say that ) if the plastic bags from the grocery store are thrown away or not ,he gets angry , if his things that he put on the stairs are moved to another place ,he gets angry , and sometimes he interfers with my stuff and my life ,even when i was no longer a teenager , just a couple of years ago , i was in my mid twentess, there was spaggati for lunch , it was me and him , there was shreded cheese ,so i didn't put shreded cheese on the spaggiti , he told me to put , i told him that i don't want to , then he got really angry and started cussing , i was in my mid twenties (i am still living with my parents ) , then a couple of days ago , he was angry over soemthing , so mom and him ate lunch , i didn't see that there was left over luch from yesterday that he had taken from the fridge , so i ate noodles , because i felt like it and didn't see the leftover , he then (because he was previously mad ) started interfering with me , and telling me there is no protein in what i am eating and there is left over food and stuff . is it normal that he interferes with my life ,even though i am over college and school age ?! , and is it normal for him to get angry for not eating what he wants me to eat ?.

  • I had a father like that. He would bitch like a little pussy over everything. All I can say is get out of that house and get on your own feet. He wont respect you until you're on your own. You may not be able to control how he reacts to things, but you can control how you take it.

  • Maybe he's, disappointed in you, because he saw your, comma use and thinks, he wasted a ton of money, on your college,

  • My dad was the same way. It drove me CRAZY!!! He was impossible to live with and so controlling even after I moved out on my own. Sometimes, he got scary.
    It's not good, and you should talk to him about it, but realize that it's because he cares.
    My dad passed away in March unexpectedly and now I wish he would call and tell me what to eat and how to start my day.

  • Some parents still want to have control over their children no matter how old they are. its a matter of respect . If You father had any respect for you he would probably not tell you to do those stuff... DEMAND RESPECT WOMAN/MAN

  • He sounds like a right nutcase! He probably resents your relationship with your mom and wants to be the centre of her world, again. He's behaving like a spoilt brat. Do yourself a favour, get a job and get out ASAP to save your sanity!!

    Then you won't have to ever see the fool again!!

  • I think...you live with your parents. You havnt yourself made a step into adulthood. And that once you do he will realize he's outta line.
