I have just left or stop going before ....I can feel my blood pressure rising and my teeth getting clenched and I go out the door fast. In past experiences with this I just stay there until I attack people. I have only done that at work. I’m retired and won’t work. I have never hit my wife or family.
I went into emergency when I had suicidal feelings and sat in front of 3 medical people and I could not say anything to them.. I got extremely angry but sat there in my chair and pounded my knees , etc.
Whenever I feel this way I can walk away from the narcissistic event and calm down. It’s my Dad looking at me and slapping my face. It’s him telling me I must be perfect but I can’t be perfect.

You have developed some tremendous insight into how your dad's past actions are still controlling your current behavior and thoughts, @stsopoci. Of course, you can't be perfect, none of us can be perfect. As you well know, neither was your dad perfect.
I would encourage you to discuss this insight with a trained therapist. Will you look for a therapist who you can trust with this insight?
