Hello, questioner. My name is Jia Ao, and I'm not here to cause any trouble.
It seems that you are experiencing some distress and confusion, as well as difficulties in your relationships with those close to you. You have mentioned that you perceive your father to be behaving in ways that are unusual for you. After he returns, he repeatedly refers to you as "baby" in a peculiar tone of voice. You feel a sense of revulsion and unease, and you find yourself wanting to avoid seeing him. You have concerns about his mental stability. How should you proceed?
I can relate to your feelings. Your father has been calling you "baby boy" in a way that is confusing and uncomfortable for you. I'm not sure how old you are, but it seems like you've grown out of being called "baby." This might be why you feel so disgusted inside. You don't want to hear your father call you that. You feel disgusted and repulsed. You feel that he is very strange and inexplicable. You don't want to see him, but you're not sure how to deal with it.
Let's take a moment to chat.
1. [Sincere communication] Perhaps the best course of action would be to directly communicate with your father and inquire about his well-being and whether he has been subjected to any kind of stimulus. Could it be that since he returned, he has been calling you by this name with greater frequency? Is something significant occurring?
It's also possible that he's just shouting at you for no real reason. Only he knows the real reason, so it's important to communicate with him clearly. It's best not to jump to conclusions or let your imagination run wild.
2. [Put yourself in his shoes] If you really can't communicate clearly, you might consider choosing to ignore him. If he keeps calling you, you could try pretending you didn't hear him. Let it go in one ear and out the other. Don't take it personally. It's not like he's your enemy. Perhaps he really just wants to be affectionate and doesn't mean anything by it. You might find it helpful to put yourself in his shoes and think about why he's doing it.
3. [Transfer anxiety] It might be helpful to try to keep your mind calm and adjust your state of mind in time. This is not a very serious matter. It is possible that it just happens to coincide with you not being in a very good mood. Listening to him scream like that can be very upsetting. Perhaps you could try shifting your attention in time. Going out for a walk, putting the immediate worries aside, and just letting it go might help.
4. [Respect and understanding] It would be beneficial to learn to respect and understand your father. After all, you are family. Perhaps it would be helpful to consider that your father may not be mentally ill. This kind of thinking may not be appropriate. It's possible that you were speaking out of anger. It might be helpful to relax and not think about it. I wish you all the best.
I hope my answer is helpful. I love you and I hope the world treats you well.

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds incredibly tough. Have you considered talking to a counselor or therapist who can offer support and guidance on how to handle this?
It must be really challenging for you. Maybe there's a family member or a close friend you trust who could help you figure out what steps to take next.
Your feelings are completely valid. Sometimes setting boundaries is necessary for our own mental health. Have you thought about speaking with a professional about establishing those boundaries?
This is such a difficult situation you're in. It might help to connect with support groups where others have gone through similar experiences and can provide advice and empathy.
I understand how upsetting this must be for you. If it's safe, perhaps discussing the situation with a social worker or a community health service could lead to some solutions.
