Agh, he's threatening to kick me out for disagreeing with him... again.

This just isn't right. Entire adolescence: "You think the world revolves around you because you're a teenager." First year of being twenty: "You think you're so smart because you're a know-it-all young adult." Father's always talking about how selfish and entitled other people are when he's usually the most self-oriented person in the room. Problems can't even stop right before Christmas! We're arguing over moving a stupid fridge... it's too wide, I realize a few minutes later... but he says "Too much on the top," so I suggest we remove the padding and fold up the screws on the bottom... get a big "Shut up" and lecture on how I think I know everything. Later, yes, I do a young idiot thing, because talking to him never helps. Even about a fridge. On the chalkboard, "How could you think I would suggest that if I knew what your real problem was?" ... the legitimately insulting part. "Idiot." "If you ever write sh*t like that again, you can leave this house." Please. You call names and insult people for nothing, you never let anyone try to rationally discuss things because YOU ARE ALWAYS RIGHT. There's a reason we're so quiet on long car rides.. who wants to be angrily lectured for forty five minutes for liking something you don't? These move out threats happen every time I ever voice disagreement. He dislikes "attitude", which means disagreement, tonal or vocal. This is the same person who has never promoted access to social things, so I have one friend to go to and maybe find work through if he actually follows through on that threat over a stupid disagreement, making me bring my daily drama to this friend semi-permanently. I'd rather sleep at the Y. But like every time he and mother fought when I was very little... she'd say, "Fine, I'm leaving"..he'd chase her down, apologize ever so much, and we're back to being a family for a month or two before something else blows up. He doesn't want me to leave because I'm "the responsible one" who picks up and does things when I'm needed. Driving me nuts... when I'm 30 and visiting home instead of living there, is he going to send me to my home for making a suggestion he doesn't like?
