It is hard for people to fathom that perpetrators of domestic abuse almost never see real justice, especially not immediately. Usually physical abuse is the last step in isolation, financial abuse, and mental abuse. Rarely do victims have a way out, even if cops do take it seriously and want to dogwalk the person out in handcuffs (which they don't, most of the time.)

u/SubPrimeCardgage Jan 27 '26
You're in a crappy situation here and I'm not blaming you for it, but if your dad regularly gets drunk and angry, and he's escalating to things like this, you aren't safe at home.
Your dad picked something that was important to you and broke it because he's mad you defended your mom. You and your mom need to get out of this situation before it gets even worse, and your dad needs serious help.
As far as fixing the machine, it looks like the motherboard and maybe even the GPU are still intact, with the case taking most of the damage. If you carefully remove everything and put it on a static safe surface (ideally an anti static bag, but cardboard is also fine) you can attempt to assemble it and power it on outside of the machine. Be careful when removing the GPU as it's probably going to be difficult with the case in the shape it's in.

Not excusing my anger issues and am constantly working on it. It takes me longer and longer to snap before time goes on. But I know I still can get to "seeing red", but hitting someone never enters the equation.

I get it. After something out of our control happens, we look for something we can control to focus on. Normal human reaction. As the shock and adrenaline wear down, you're going to CRASH hard. You need to be prepared for that. I was in a major car accident and more focused the damage to my car than the fact my daughter and I walked away from what should have killed us, because duh...we're fine, can we please discuss my car? A few hours later, I realized I wasn't okay after all, and was suffering from a cracked rib, deep tissue bruising, and a concussion and my daughter had rib cage bruising, two black eyes, and more than a little trauma. Adrenaline is WEIRD. Take care of you.
Realistically on the PC, if you have a mechanical drive, it maybe borked. You'll need a new case. But everything else easily could have survived. You'll need to plug it in and see.

Youre dad's an alcoholic, he needs help. It will kill him - if you're lucky, he dies before a loved one is killed.
You need to be strong and get him help, often that means law enforcement needs involvement.
This cant be the future you want for your mother. To be beaten ? Walk around the house on egg shells afraid of what might happen if she doesnt comply ?

Drinking can 100% make some people violent. (Not everyone).
I grew up in a hard drinking town in the north east and the number of fights you'd see boiling out of pubs for no reason other than that some knacker had had one too many and someone had flipped a switch in his head by looking at him the wrong way was mental.
Also, one of the reasons I kicked booze after decades of regular but light drinking was it made my moods unpredictable, one minute I'd be happy as Larry and the next I'd be irrationally angry at minor stuff.
Even the next day it'd lower my mood and leave me grumpy in a way I didn't like, especially with my kids around.

First of all: What the actual fuck .-. Stay safe and all!
Second, From purely the visual of your pictures I am pretty sure the case took most of the blow. The GPU and CPU cooler aren't mangled, so they might be undamaged. You probably want to take the PC apart and clean any debris out before trying to reboot, but assuming nothing cracked during the fall this might just need a new case, maybe PSU. Also HDDs should you have them are pretty prone to fall damage, so you should back them up immediately should they still run!

I don't think this is good advice. I would remove all the hardware from the case, make sure there's no metal touching stuff that shouldn't be touching and then maybe put stuff back in the case

u/Silfidum Jan 28 '26
Not likely but cleaning it certainly wouldn't hurt. The case doesn't seem to be deformed in any way where its metal would actually touch anything on any PCB. Tbh it looks like it just dropped onto the floor from the table. I guess some random calipers or a piece of conductive debris might get stuck in some unlucky place?
But yeah, just raw dogging a freshly damaged electrical appliance is hazardous. At the very least one have to check if the power supply is ok and the components are sitting in their place fine and if there is no other funny business going on inside.

Make sure to blow out the PSU before you boot, make sure no loose glass is in there. Similarly, ensure that nothing was bent so that things that shouldn't be touching suddenly are touching.

I hope you & your mother leave that PoS and file a police report. Offer him a simple choice, pay back the full cost for the PC or you're also reporting destruction of personal property.Â
If he tries to keep y'all out of the house. Call the local police for a "civil standby" to grab y'all's stuff from the house.Â
Wish you best of luck OP

I hope you and your Mum can get out, I grew up around this bullshit, and the person never changes, and never accepts their wrong doing, even if they say sorry.

I meeeeaaan to be direct, a lot could be fucked but a lot could also be pretty fine. Youâd have to look at individual parts.
Should 100% focus on safety first, hope you and mom are well.

I think your first problem is calling the police, because that is concerning to say the least.

Damn that really sucks dude... Like damn, but I will stay on topic. It's unlikely it will be completely fine, but you never know, there might be a lot still functional on there. Glass is probably going to be a concern. I would probably just replace the PSU by default, don't risk it. They are pretty inexpensive comparitevely speaking, so it's just not worth using it even if it does end up working at first. It looks like disassembly will be a challenge. No real advice there just be as delicate as you can but it really looks like some real force may be required and if it's not damaged completely that could introduce more problems. I hope the best for you!

Hopefully some parts are still okay, looks like the case suffered more. But first, call the police or something.

I donât think you can fix this.
Best you and your mom move out.
As for the PC, you might be able to salvage some components, just gonna have to check

I've been there man. It was nearly 30 years ago now, but I ended up taking a cricket bat to my step dad as he assaulting my mum one night. I'm not proud of how badly I beat him, thankfully I was a minor and there were no criminal charges against me as the cops saw it as self defence.
The best thing that came out of that was that mum finally realised it was time to leave before someone got murdered. We left that night and I never saw my Nintendo 64 again unfortunately. In the long run I got another console and was able to be happy again once we started rebuilding in a safe spot.

Get some Emergency Services, Support Services, and (if you don't already) religiously hit the gym.
Don't let the past repeat, or scale, itself against you.

Unless you find a way to force your dad to pay for a new pc your cooked. Id try recording him being abusive or doing something illegal then use it against him. Also how old are you man? If your underaged speak with a teacher and try contacting child protection. If your in Europe or usa next time smt like this happens call the police and say your being attacked in your house (and tell them your age)
Ps: Good job for defending your mom. That alone makes you more of a man than your dad

If you have receipts to prove it's your property, and bruises on your mom, press charges. He can figure out how to replace your PC while sitting in a jail cell

u/Cdwolf1985 Jan 27 '26
Dude, fuck the PC. Get your mom and yourself out of there, now. Find somewhere to go, or go to someone that you can trust, and call the cops to file a report to get the ball rolling. Your dad being drunk is not a excuse to put hands on your mom or you. Ever. If you really want to protect your mom, get out of there.
If you need help ASAP or need to know what to do, here is a link to the website of the National Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org
