Frequent Anger Outbursts

I'm beyond annoyed with my dad and brother who have frequent anger outbursts over small matters and I'm working towards the day when me and mom get to finally live apart from them. They often go from zero to a hundred on the rage meter in an instant. Although my brother supports my mom, he too has problems holding back his anger.
I really don't think that's normal at all. They get angry over being told to clean after themselves or that they should stop procrastinating and start working on something. When they're angry, they shout, hurl nasty words and want to fight. They've smashed stuff like laptops, chairs and table tops.
I'm so over them their lack of self regulation. I suspect that they could have an undiagnosed mental disorder. Something along the lines of adult ADHD. They can't pass a week without at least an anger outburst which involves shouting and wanting to fight.
Is it normal?
God bless them because I ain't gonna put up with their behavior any longer.

I think they really indeed have some disorder . It's not normal when you always get angry .
I think it's wise that you indeed get to separate from them . Doing that would made them realize they have become monsters whenever they are angry .
Imagine smashing thing out of anger ! That's not normal indeed .

@Ladypeace People would always justify their abnormal actions and that's what they are doing .

I don't think they're normal too. But they think they are They are really evil at times, telling me that I'm normal because I do not outburst or it's common to shout at others when discussing problems. Load of BULL.

I understand your feelings. I myself would not be happy living with people who have anger outbursts. I want peace in my place of abode. I have brothers who have anger outbursts too but I'm glad I don't live with them. My home is generally peaceful.

You see, I yearn for that kind of peace and quiet. It's pretty never wrecking whenever they act out.

I'm glad this is not a norm in other households. It's really disturbing and I've been putting up with this all my life.

All I know is not to go near the sparks or the flames.

I don't think that's normal to be that angry once a week. I would be way done with it as well. I hope you stay safe.

That's what I wanted to know from others. I wonder how can this be justified as normal. They always tell us that others do the same thing that me and mom are not normal for not having outbursts. You are on point because that's the part I'm cautious about - safety. I keep a few weapons in my room in case. It's sad but I won't spend time feeling sorry for myself, since I can live apart from them one day.

I agree totally. It's not worth it, and, believe me, I'm doing my best to get out of this predicament.

I am sorry to hear about the angry outbursts between your dad/brother. I get angry sometimes, but not to the point I will smash or slam things.

I know, it's terrible. Although I've gotten used to it, I ain't stupid enough to stick around and tolerate their aggressive behavior.

They might have some issues that they need to talk about.

They find it convenient to vent their quick anger on nice natured and patient female members of the family. Talking calmly about issues is what they can never do.

Yes, males (generalization) have a greater propensity to be aggressive. That doesn't mean it's acceptable.

My brother-inlaw is the same way and I try to just stay away from them. I am more of a calm person, which is odd because I work in a stressful job.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm staying away. However, when they spin out of control, I can hear the loud shouting from my room and I get out to stop the escalation.
