He's counting on you being too afraid to tell anyone. Therefore, tell. If you honestly believe that he would do something like that AND he is telling you he will, I would contact the police (on the non-emergency number) and tell the dispatcher the situation.
If you are worried or afraid of making matters worse, an officer can actually meet you at a different location than your home and you can speak with them. They most likely will give you phone numbers and other resourses and ask you what you would like to do NOW.
Don't worry: calling the police in this manner will NOT make things worse. It will give you support, peace of mind and documentation.
Still not convinced? Contact your local school counselor. This is what they aretrained to do. They may also have suggestions and resources for you. You'd be surprised just how common this sort of thing is. You are not alone.

It depends on many factors.
1)Are you over 18 or under 18 - over 18, see next answer, under 18, call the police.
2) Do you live with him and have to be in his presence often or can you avoid him? If you live with him and are either over/under 18, call the police.
3) Was he under the influence? Is he under the influence frequently? If so, seek help with police or mental health.
4) Is this a first time occurance or a regular occurance? If it's a one time thing, discuss how hurtful it is ONLY once he's calm. If it's regular, seek help.
5) Did you do something to bring it on (no I'm not insensitive, but if you are 22 and slept with his new trophy wife, I'm not sure if I would be shocked to hear this type of statement).
If you truly feel you are in jeopardy, get out and find another family member or friend to stay with until somone can help you deal with Dad's outburst(s). Good Luck!

There is a new law in effect that will serve you well. Go to your school counselor and say so. If the counselor doesn't report it to the proper authorities, the counselor can lose the job. What will happen will be a change of home. You do not have to live with an abuser. This is emotional/mental abuse, by law.

i would tell a neighbor or a police officer or a teacher at school before its too late. you shouldnt have to live in that kind of environment. you should live in a nice environment where you dont have to worry about being abused.

I received similar insults as a child and have never forgotten it.
The parent/father needs anger management help.

Take it like a man it makes you tougher, unless you seriously think he is going to do serious bodily harm to you

I'd call the PoPo and write my will.
Just kidding.
I'm sure he was exaggerating. Maybe he'll leave your face and just break your teeth. =]

i will have a bf and tell him that if he ever thought of doing it i will leave and never come back. because that is not how a dad should be treating their children.

I would file a police report so if he ever does, they will know where to look.
