But not to women especially, I dont like male authority figures, but to women i have a soft side. I think its because my dad beat up my mom when i was kid. I knocked out a high school teacher because he grabbed me in the hallway.I think i have a chip on my shoulder i cant get rid of it.P.S i did graduate luckily.

Well, you've identified the problem. Children from abusive families tend to repeat the pattern, so make your choice to break that pattern now. BTW, I'm a bit confrontational myself, though not nearly as violent. The problem is not you, it is that there are so many idiots out there, so little patience for them. I've learned to hold my tongue at work since I make good money now and the chip doesn't help. Find some ways to channel your negative energy into something positive. For example, someone pisses you off, run a mile. Or maybe put a dollar in a jar for every time you get angry with others. If all else fails, seek counseling. Good luck!

you might feel some guilt regarding what you dad did and the fact that you felt powerless to stop it. Now that you have some power you might feel as if you will NEVER allow yourself to be in that situation again.
I believe that it is a 'normal' reaction to the abuse that you witnessed as a child. If your budget permits, you might seriously consider counseling as this has to be a horrible way to live your life.
It would be awesome if you could 'confront' your dad and put your anger where it belongs
