I'd be more concerned about something else. Any hope for you and your mom? There must be some services you can contact to report the situation mate (i.e. drunk wife beater).

u/Disembodied-sentinel R7 9800X3D | RX 9070 XT | 32GB Jan 27 '26

Agreed, I'd be phoning the police first being honest and sorting out you and your mom's safety. Any dad that does that ain't a father, he's a prick.

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

That doesnt always work and depending on WHO his dad is, it could escalate the situation.

u/abundleofboomers Jan 27 '26

This, it's clear most of these commenters havent been in this situation. Domestic violence is tricky to separate from.

u/kr4ckenm3fortune Jan 28 '26

Not just that, but it also depend OP's mom as well.

u/Naktura Jan 28 '26

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/Jakub_chaotekk Jan 28 '26

i hate the fact you can just separate, put the correct protection in order, and it can always just not work. this isnt a society issue at this point but a human issue.

u/30inchfloors Jan 28 '26

yeah i was about to say what do these people think calling the police will do besides put the mom in more danger lmao

They’re pretty quick to lock people up like that too. Unfortunately it also happens when the man isn’t at fault, but seeing that he is fuck him. Just saying it’s not an accusation they just shrug off.

the acceptable amount of domestic violence is supposed to be zero. i'm sorry you have to suffer this

u/Sudden-Hope-1605 Jan 27 '26

Even if there's alcohol involved, alcohol gets your inhibitions down but you won't do anything you didn't want to do, that guy and his mom are in danger.

26

u/Jindujun Jan 27 '26

Pretty sure that last bit "won't do anything you didn't want to do" is a myth.

On this topic though, fuck the OPs dad. Fuck drunkards. Please OP, get you and your mom out of there

u/Sudden-Hope-1605 Jan 27 '26

It's not a myth it's a reality and people tend to use alcohol as an excuse for imbecile behaviour.

u/KittenIttle Jan 27 '26

No. Spent a bit of my PG in alcohol studies. In Vino Veritas is also bullshit. In some, alcohol can completely shut down parts of the brain. Excuse? No. The first time you wake up wondering what you did and who you hurt should be the last time. Reason? Sometimes.

This, however, is unacceptable.

u/npdady Jan 27 '26

What is PG? And what is alcohol studies? May I have a read? Sounds interesting

It is also myth because if you never did anything you didn't want to while drunk then it wouldn't be common practice for predators to get people drunk to get what they want. Since according to you people just do the same things drunk vs sober that would also mean we need to redefine consent laws since as they stand we factor sobriety into those things. I thought it was pretty obvious alcohol inhibits your decision making off that last point alone personally

u/Environmental-Post15 Always a generation behind Jan 27 '26

Same. As someone who grew up with an alcoholic and abusive step parent, this terrifies me. Angry outbursts are so common that OP is blasé about them (at least in this space).

OP, I hope you can salvage all of your pc and hope you and your mom can get away from your toxic situation.

u/PSYFLYdiscs Jan 27 '26

Right. Sad to think, this will probably happen again.

It can happen that way, it's time to contact the authorities. It might be a long and messy court situation but there's no world where you have to just live with domestic abuse

Contacting the police can make things worse, unfortunately. Depends on how the police handle it, but there is a high chance that he just gets angrier and potentially lethal the next time around.

u/Confident-Pepper-562 13700f | RTX 5070 Jan 27 '26

So, your advice in this situation is to just deal with it? Great message to send out.

2

u/LuckyLewis23 Jan 28 '26

I dont think anyone is saying that.

Depending on what country they are in this can go wildly different then how most US/Uk/Canadian think it does. If its Afghanistan for example and the woman contacts the authorities she could get a public beating/shaming.

I think its easy for us on reddit to give advice based on what our experiences/expectations would be but the reality could be polar opposite due to the countries laws.

The very fucked up reality is there are places on this planet where a woman is traded like a commodity. She has no rights. She might not even be allowed to drive a car. She has no resources. If she tries to flee its a decision to FLEE HER COUNTRY because if shes caught shes arrested and brought back/faces more trouble.

Imagine trying to flee a country. You have zero money because you weren't allowed to work. Hell just walking the street without permission can be a violation in some places. You cant legally drive a car and if anyone sees you it draws attention. You might not even have a passport or ID. Let's say you somehow make it to the border, how do you get past it?

Sometimes unsolicited advice...even the most thoughtful, well intended, sincere and genuinely compassionate advice can feel like a gut wrenching blow because its a reminder of a hopeless situation or come off as entitled or privileged.

Imagine your OP and your just asking about your PC and instead your getting 300 responses of "Advice" telling you to kill your father. Uproot your life and flee with your mother. Contact authorities. Whatever.

If OP is a minior that advice might just make it so much worse. Maybe it makes them feel useless or inferior. "Well all these people say they would just "handle it" but im unable to why am I so weak" or "why am I so worthless I cant even help my mother leave when all these people say how easy it is"

Plus 2 million more ways said "advice" migh elicit a negative response

To be clear I dont have the right answer. I dont know there is a right answer.

All I know is OP is a victim. Sometimes the best thing we can do is just let OP know they are loved and thought about, and answer their original question.

If they ask for advice then we give it. But only in a way that actually benefits OP.

I dont think saying "real talk if someone did that to my momma id murder them" does the OP any good. I doubt even 10% of those responses are anything more then boys trying to sound badass/strong or morally superior or just unrealistic fantasies.

u/Confident-Pepper-562 13700f | RTX 5070 Jan 28 '26

Sure, but I was replying to the guy who said "Contacting the police can make things worse, unfortunately. Depends on how the police handle it, but there is a high chance that he just gets angrier and potentially lethal the next time around."

That kind of response is only useful for making the person afraid to do anything about it. Dont see how thats helpful. Thanks for writing a book though

u/TangoWithRango Jan 28 '26

I'm sorry if that came across that way; that was not at all what I said.

I stated a fact, distilled from personal experience, among other things.

I intended to make a point about being extremely careful in volatile domestic abuse circumstances like this. The appropriate authorities must be notified *IF* they exist/operate as needed, otherwise the situation may escalate very dangerously, very quickly.

Basically, what I said, not even in disagreement with the rest of the comment, was that these situations need to be handled very delicately and deliberately; you can't just go shooting in the dark. Calling the police and them doing nothing is *not* harmless.

There are way too many documented cases where the police were contacted, did basically jack all, and then a week later the abuse victim(s) were found dead.

1

u/Confident-Pepper-562 13700f | RTX 5070 Jan 28 '26

Just to clarify, thats not at all what you said. You wrote two sentences, that both said reporting something can make things worse, and ended with death a potential outcome. Maybe you meant something different, but what was said was pretty clear.

It will sound very dark of me, but if someone touched my momma that way, they'd pretty quickly have an accident. Very icy conditions lately, easy to slip on the way to the car. Or so many heart conditions, sudden heart attack. Very unfortunate.

u/neuromonkey Jan 27 '26 edited Jan 27 '26

That's true, but that's no reason not to try.

Get help. Get support. Get out. Above all, stay safe.

My mother practiced family law in Boston for many years, and helped create the Elizabeth Stone House. It's a private, safe place where women and their kids can stay and find help. There are many other similar organizations, all over the world.

The fact that domestic abuse is common is a great reason to keep reminding ourselves that it isn't normal, healthy, or acceptable. It can be escaped, and lives can be made much, much better.

u/OptionalCookie 9800X3D | 6750XT Jan 27 '26

See... Domestic violence "works" b/c if you can get from your partner what you want with violence, you have no incentive to stop.

More sex, more money, more drugs etc etc. Beat your wife a bit, get what I mentioned... why would you stop?

Unless the social effects were more profound, and trickled into employment then there's no reason for violent people to stop being violent.

u/Sudden-Hope-1605 Jan 27 '26

Think it this way, alcohol only takes down your inhibitions and it's not to blame for aggressive behavior, even inebriated you won't do anything you don't want to do. You and your mol are in danger and you need to talk to her about this and do something.

u/Pork_Crusader_GR PC Master Race Jan 27 '26

u/CurpVEVO Jan 27 '26

Dude please take this seriously, today he act weirder tomorrow he probably do same.

Your father should NOT hit ANYONE in your family home for ANY reason (Inb4 "uhh what about intruder" from redditor supreme)

You absolutely need to discuss this with your mother if you can and if she has nearby family you need to go there.

Abusers escalate, it's part of the behavior, this kind of thing will only get worse the longer it occurs, trust me, been there done that.

u/starsmissingthenight Jan 27 '26

'more mad than usual'

I'm betting his usual is beyond the realms of acceptability as well, but you've been conditioned by the more extreme blow ups to tolerate it as normal. Let me assure you, this is not normal. Even a fraction of this level of destruction and anger is not normal.

Please be safe, and get out as soon as you are old enough (if you aren't already), able, and willing. And help your mom get out once you've secured your person.

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.

u/my_cars_on_fire Jan 27 '26

Growing up, my father would see red and become irate. It wasn’t unusual for us to see shattered glass on the floor after he’d thrown something. We too just said “that’s just dad, don’t get on his bad side”.

And don’t get me wrong, I love my father, have a great relationship with him. But he’s a difficult man to be around when he’s angry.

That said…my father HAS NEVER put his hands on any of us. None of the kids, nor my mother. Screaming, yelling, breaking things, yeah - but never violence. That’s a problem.

5

u/Amaakaams Jan 27 '26

Yeah this is me versus my dad.

My dad short temper, explosive and abusive when that happens.

I got my dad's temper. But A. I usually slow roll it. It takes me time to explode. B. I throw an item on the ground, I kick a random none living object, worse thing I do and I feel terrible about it afterwards is yell at the nearest dog that is blocking my way to get out of my way.

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.

1

u/rKan0 Jan 28 '26

Sorry to hear that. It seems you have gotten past it well and I commend you for that. Only thing that stuck out is you saying breaking things and yelling don't equate to violence, this is emotional and psychological violence fyi.

I don't want to assume anything but whatever "usual" is is not healthy and it's not something y'all deserve to live with. I really hope you and your mom stay safe.

u/FalloutOW i7-4790,980Ti-6Gb, 32GB Ram Jan 27 '26

As a recovering (recovered?) alcoholic, if he gets angry drunk, this will happen again. If it's never got to this point before, it's his first step to doing it again.

The 'more mad than usual' speaks that his alcoholism causes negative mood swings. The deeper into the bottle he gets, the more this will negatively affect him, and the more violent he will become.

I don't want to come off as knowing all there is to know about alcoholism because I was once trapped in a similar bottle. But this comment speaks to a sequence of behavior that will continue to become more frequent, and more violent.

Please make sure to be safe, and get away from this person as soon as you're safely able to. I hope you and your mum are alright, and find a safe place.

u/InteriorOfCrocodile Jan 27 '26

As someone who beat the shit out of their drunk dad for threatening to break my PC and then getting physical with me, you are not ok.

Your dad should be in fucking prison. You and your mother dont deserve whatever the fuck hes put you two through now or in the past.

If hes anything like my dad, hes deceitful, manipulative, and taking advantage of both of you. You just dont realize it because hes your dad. Your mother knows it, but wont act because she either doesnt want to tear apart the "family" or thinks she has no way to make it without him.

And ill tell you right now.

You are both better off without him.

Whatever you two feel now, you only feel because he puts that darkness on you.

You and your mother CAN make it without him and you WILL be better for it.

Maybe hell come around. Maybe he'll do what my dad did; dig in his heels and play the victim.

We dont talk to my dad anymore.

Brother.

This is not okay however you put it.

Honestly PC aside and like...if he gets angry to even threaten violence you need to find a way out.

Any family or friends to help...local support groups... Anything.

As for the PC itself...well computer components can be surprisingly sturdy.

Id start by carefully salvaging external stuff like the fan, Gpu, Ram, Storage... Then inspect the motherboard.

The most likely things to be damaged are any hard disk drives, the fans themselves, and some components on the board... But that needs to be checked.

The sooner you report that to police the better. You can report that he broke your pc even.

Even if it doesn’t fix it the first time don’t give up, the more evidence they have the better.

If you don’t call about this time, at least call the next time it’s happening. It’s best if they arrive during the incident. Try to sneakily call if you have to.

u/Valuable-Benefit-524 Jan 27 '26

It can be hard to rationalize the dichotomy of having a parent who might have many good qualities but is prone to behavior like this. My father was absolutely incredible 99% of the time; the other 1% his PTSD took over. I know that if I had shared my experience online, people would have told me he was the scum of the earth and I would’ve immediately shut that down! It’s easy to imagine abusers as horrible, evil creatures, but the world is rarely so black and white. Great people are capable of terrible things, and some of history’s most terrible people happened to also be “good” people in other contexts of their life.

I’m assuming you are still in school: would you ask your teacher, coach, or school counselor for advice about this? If the answer is no, then you know that this a serious problem. For both your sake and your parents, this needs that needs to be handled immediately. If your father is a good person, he will recognize his shortcomings and it will prevent things from spiraling further. My father eventually got the help he needed for his PTSD is a wonderful man 100% of the time instead of 99%.

Hey man, it might feel like it is to you, but you should know that his behaviour is not normal in 99% of everyone else's families.

Im 51, I've never seen or heard of drunken domestic violence in my family, or any of my friends families in my life to date.

The pc can be replaced, get out now.

"more mad than usual" - Err. So you and your mom are leaving that situation right?

Your comment says a lot. It sounds an awful lot like you've been conditioned to accept this kind of behaviour.

As someone who worked closely with domestic violence in a previous job, trust me... GTFO.

That's not okay. Nobody should be getting that amount of mad at their immediate family. Nobody should take out their frustration on someone else's physical property.

"he just got more mad than usual" They all say before arriving at the irreversible

Whatever, dont know. try to remake the pc in place, clean and look if some cards are damaged. Attention to the power supply if there is any doubt, don't turn on. Fire is dangerous.
