it may be hard but you may need to tell another family member about whats happening because its not just you and your dad involved its your little sister to.
they may be able to help you and your dad, getting him more help or even at an extreme to stay with your gran or someone a couple of nights a week to give you dad the space he needs when he has any mood swings,
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx take care

Bi-Polar can be a very hard thing to deal with, not only for the person with it, but the family as well. They have to go through these sudden mood swings that aren't controllable (Unless medicated and sometimes only lessons them). Then the family that has to witness a husband/wife/son/daughter going through these changes that are abnormal to their customary self. Especially when they get violent because it can be traumatizing that your own family member that you're supposed to trust and are to love you are being abusive and being brash.

I'm very sorry to hear you're going through this rough time, but maybe you should discuss what's going on with an older family member and see if there is anyway that they could get him medicated or talk to him and make him realize what's going on. Just know that what he said isn't true and you need to look out for your own safety, but your sisters as well. I really hope everything gets better for you and if you need someone to talk to I'm always here VM me anytime.

Bi-polar is tough but that is not an excuse. If he doesn't it again you really need to speak to a doctor or a shrink about his condition and help him control it otherwise he could seriously harm you
Don't panic x

Him being Bi-Polar, I think is indeed an excuse. A very good one in my opinion. The disorder is not his fault, nor do I assume that he is doing what he is doing on purpose. However, since you've stated that he is taking medication, and the medication is defective, how come you don't alert your doctor about it? I'm sure your family doctor is close by enough for your mother to drive you or walk you. Speak to the rest of your family (Who are adults) about this and try to get as much help as possible, otherwise his condition may become worse and he may become more reckless.

What I suggest you do in situations like these, stay calm and think, don't panic or be scared. He's your father, and he is ill. Do whatever you can whenever he has you pinned down or up against the wall or something, just get out of there and call for help. He may be your dad, but in that state, regardless of who he is, you need help.

Best of luck.
