Okay, it's like I overheard someone say recently, Opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one and they all stink or buttpirate throws a salami in it, but here is mine.
Violence never solves anything, in fact it usually creates more problems.
Your father as an alcoholic drunken asshole, would most likely go into a state of Drunken Berserker Rage as soon as you hit him, and then you would probably end up using a weapon on him and going to prison where you meet Buttpirate's cousin bubba.
As for where to go, I heard the Mickey D's has a nice dumpster with all you can eat fries.
