My dad was always such a dick. He was so self centered and yelled all the fucking time. He would bend forward at the waist, scrunch his face up, and yell while spittle flew out his mouth. My mom called it werewolf face. She chuckled every time she said it. I don’t know if it was because she was making allowances for him or if she was trying to make us less scared. When we were toddlers and young kids my dad would pick us up and slam us against the wall eye level with him and scream in our faces. He often called us “you fucking dumb shit” while screaming. Werewolf face was less funny then.  
He yelled at my mom a lot too. Once I saw him shove her on the bed and straddle her while holding her shoulders down and screaming in her face. She tried to back up by pushing her head back but it didn’t have anywhere to go. I hid with my little brother so he didn’t have to see any more. I wonder what she thought of werewolf face then.  
Once, my dad and I got into an argument and he punched me square in the face. It almost broke my nose and I bled everywhere. The cops got called and they threatened to arrest me. I guess narcissism can serve you after all. My dad still says that even though I’m the only daughter I’m the one child he had to punch like a man. Werewolf face thinks it’s funny.  
All us kids are fucked up adults now. Beware that full moon.
