Any advice? (read info)
Me and my dad are fighting a lot. For example: I'm on my leraners licence at the moment, and he tells me I'm driving home. Thats all good, except that I have one arm in a cast. So as I'm driving, he decides to change the lights/work the indicator. I ask him to stop, he gets up me for talking to him with an angry tone.
I mean, I'm trying to concentrate on getting home in one piece, and he's messing around with the lights because he cant see? I swear to god, next time...
He actually offered to get me some anger management classes/psychologist help, and when I say I want him to about 3 days later, he started a yelling match that lasted over an hour.
I honestly don't think I'm in the wrong here, but I need help...
Any advice?

As a dad who has occasionally gotten pissed at his kids....both for good reason and no good reason, this doesn't sound like a particularly high level of drama. Teenagers argue with their parents. Don't worry about it. Look back on it when you are 25 or 26 and see if your attitude is the same. I know my own parents didn't have many brains until I was almost 30 and I am sure right now my kids would say the same thing...lmao

Instead of getting mad at your dad that is only being a dad...why not look at the good of it as a learning lesson..when you are older if your arm is in a cast you not gone to miss work you will still have to drive...so if your dad is just messing with lights what will you do if someone is switching lanes or not paying attention in almost jump in your lane....it's no wrong or right he is your dad he loves you more then anything and wants the best...he has sacrifice a lot to make sure you won't be left without and to have the same person speak to you in that tone is a slap in a face...but you are not right and he is not wrong...I pray that the lines of communication between you two will grow strong and both of you nerves don't get the best of you in make you speak in that tone...you don't need help just a line of communication with your dad...you two are a lot alike :)

Good. Just argue back as little as you can. Agree when you disagree. Just dont be obvious about faking it.

I'd be annoyed to if someone was messing with the vehicle I was operating. Do it to him ... see how he likes it.
It sounds like your dad needs the anger management classes. But the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... so maybe you have anger issues too. Regardless though, try to pull back when you find yourself raising your voice or when he starts yelling at you, just be calm and all relaxed and answer him calmly. He'll end up looking like a fool.Like (1)
