AITA

So me and my partner and our 7m old son live at my grandparents due to my grandpa being diagnosed with cancer and passing away and someone needing to help my grandma take care of the farm. My dad also lives here but since meeting his now wife from the dominican republic 6 months ago has not helped out with anything. Last week my grandma found out my dad was drinking (who was 2 yrs sober) and he's not allowed to drink here due to him being an alcoholic in the past and getting aggressive. He started screaming while we were trying to put my son to sleep so I help my boyfriend with him so I could make sure he didn't hurt my grandma but he turned things on me. So I went to tell his girlfriend who was just watching what happens when he drinks and he charged me and my grandma stepped in to stop him before he hit me. He went back to his room and I went upstairs to check on my grandma and we heard 3 loud bangs and I thought he was banging on my door but he had punched a hole through the furnace room wall. After that he sat in his room telling his girlfriend that he does so much around here and bo one appreciates him and he's sick of his stupid b**** of a mother and his piece or s*** daughter. I went back to my room He text me later telling me to stay away from him and his jobs (we have been working together for the last year) and that he wants nothing to do with my son. I told him not to worry I want him no where near my son and I would be calling his cousin, who we have been doing work for, to let him know what happened. He turned it around on me saying he payed for my show cows for 2 years which yes he did but I was a minor and that was 5 years ago. Well I called his cousin the next day and he said he would talk to him and get back to me. He called me yesterday and said he talked to my dad and my dad was supposed to talk to me which he has yet to so my cousin was going to talk to him again. My thing is my dad is moving out next weekend and even if he talks to me and says he will do better I don't know that I ever want him around my son again after he came after me with full intentions of getting physically aggressive. AITA?

definitely not. he is the a*****e for drinking and for the way he acted. he put everyone there in serious danger especially your son. my dad was like that when i was growing up so if it had been me, i would’ve called the cops on him

You should’ve called the police. You are not the Ahole, you should completely cut ties, he is a POS for even putting you in that position

Definitely keep him out of yours and your sons life, it’s for the better. If he’s done it so many times before he’s going to do it again and again. Wishing you all the best OP xx

You are Definitely not, I wouldn't have him anywhere near me or my child after that. If he acts like every time he's had a drink then he ain't gona change. Maybe if he got help and stayed sober then maybe I'd reconsider but until then, I'd not let him near me or my son. Hope things get better for you soon. X

Not the a-hole. Alcohol is one of the dangerous addictions to have. He gets aggressive again police should be called. Sometimes cutting ties off to toxic people can be good. Focus on your family and keep distance from your father. Hope things get better soon.
