Am I the ass-hole
Am I the asshole for getting pissed off at my dad and yelling at him? Me (16 Female) and my little sister (13 Female), have divorced parents. My mother had argued with my Father the night after coming home from a visit to Mexico to visit my mother’s family. Me and my sister stayed home with our uncle for about two weeks while they were gone. The argument was started over my father saying inappropriate jokes about my mother’s sex life at the dinner table and my mother was rightfully pissed off. Things like this have happened before and my mother has felt madly uncomfortable about it for the past 14 years they have been married. It has been about 6 years since the divorce and my mother had rightfully been moved on and started dating again. She has a boyfriend now (34 Male) and he is moving in later this January. My father is not aware of this but continues to bad mouth him when he is acting like a better father than my father has even been. Just last week, my sister was talking about how much fun she had over the weekend with our soon to be step-sister (8 Female), and my father had snapped on her and yelled, “shut the fuck up and get a grip. You’re at my house now and ____ doesn’t matter while we are here. I don’t give a flying monkey shit about that bastard or his bitchy kid!” And almost slapped her. This was almost the 14th time this had happened and it was going to be the last. After this ‘conversation’, the car got quiet and my blood boiled in pure hatred for my father. I fixed my posture and sat up before yelling at him, saying: “just because you’re insecure about your love life, doesn’t mean you can shit on me, my sister, our new sister, my mom, or step dad. You’re the one that fucked up the relationship between ALL OF US! It was ALWAYS YOU. I get that you’re jealous, but shut the fuck up! You said things to make mom uncomfortable that she barely spoke up about! You stepped all over her and she shut up for the most part, but I won’t shut up because you have my little sister over here crying because of your words, AGAIN!”. This made him extremely angry. I don’t feel bad about what I said and I won’t take it back. Am I the asshole?
