Hi Christian
I'm so sorry to hear about this. It can be so hard living with a father who's constantly angry and dispensing his unhappines on his entire family.
I know an article that talks about Managing Angry Emotions. Let me look for the link and I'll post for you.
In the meantime, not to apply any big skill or tactic, I wonder if you communicate with your father using a different mode may help to let him listen while at the same time not to interfere with his anger eruptions?
One example I can think of now is passing him notes.Maybe you can pass him a note everyday. It could be just some things you like to tell him, like "I love you Daddy" "Stay happy" "We still love you" "we're family" that sort of things, or to update him on your daily happenings (in school or work).
Maybe you can search for some quotes on love and write it down. Pass it to him on a daily basis, I'm sure he may be moved by your sincerity and most of all, your love for him.
You can write down quotes from the Bible too! After all, God is Love, isn't it?
All the best to you ... wishing you love, peace, joy and harmony...
hugs
