my dad. I'm shaking

Was invited down to my parents house (local village) for bacon sandwich as I'm alone this weekend with children and no car

Get down there (given a lift by sister). Given cups of tea and Sandwich etc, my 3 yr old asks my father if there is any more bacon and he says yes there on the chopping board. She picks it up and eats half of it. He flipped and chased after her, she was giggling at this point - he then started to scream full blast to give it back to him and pinned her against the working kitchen cupboards trying to prise the last bit from her hands. I had poorly dd3 on my lap (she has chicken pox with high temp) and couldn't get up but 3yo was screaming in fear, I shouted for him to leave her alone etc which he finally did. I shouted what the hell was that she's 3 etc etc he told me to fuck off and leave. So I did, I carried dd2 and 3 and dd1 walked home 3 miles. I haven't stopped crying and shaking.

He's in his 50s. Perfectly normal normally I've never seen him loose his temper like that and I'm devastated.

How are your parents, Only?

Your dad needs to see his GP asap.
Someone earlier in the the thread mentioned some of the causes of out of character behaviour. Your dad needs a proper neurological assessment.
