my dad is and was a very aggressive and violent person when i was y younger he would throw things and drag me around the house and when i sleep i have nightmares about him i don’t know what to do should i go to therapy or get medication??
 
So sorry you went through this, but glad you found this forum for support. I say yes on both. Definitely a therapist to help you work through the trauma of not being able to trust your own father to keep you safe, and yes to medication to help you stifle the nightmares while you get help. I had to do the same for a while, both sleep and nightmare meds.

Sitting with you.
