In the state of Pennsylvania-



A question from a 19 year old PA resident. So if my father gets into one of his ugly moods and I decide not to take his verbal BS and say something and instead of verbally getting whacked, I get whacked physically and in return I return the hit in kind with a smack on him, self-defense as I would like to call it, am I legally in trouble now, is he, or are both of us in deep legal trouble if my brother would call the police on us?
