Violence at home

hello my names Rachel I have asd and ADHD i'm 25 and I live at home with my parents and i don't on with my dad he was very strict when I was growing up whenever I did something he use the slipper or raise his hand to me and shout really loud and it's had a very negative affect on me growing up and going into adulthood. Anyway whenever we argue now i have to try and walk away because things can quickly get out of hand. Well tonight they did I bought my dad some chocote raisens as he always buys me chocolate and he asked me to get them from the fridge 4 him so I threw them 2 him then he gets aggressive and throws them back hard accusing me of being violent when I wasn't so i pick them up and throw them back saying I wasn't and if u want them eat them so then he throws a dog bone at my leg which now has a cut because of that and I just lost it and he there taunging me I rember hitting his leg and my mum pushes me away I wasn't hitting him hard it was more like tapping him he threatens to phone the police and I run off. I am not a violent person but when someone winds me up I snap cos of my asd. I really want this to stop my dad always starts everything off the police won't do anything but I really want to take this futher now 4 my dad to stop his behavour for my safety and my mums I am will to confess to my mistakes I've taken a picture of my leg but I don't want anyone to really get into trouble or the police getting involved I just want my dad to understand his behavour and for all of this to stop.
