Do you think this a cycle of abuse?

For as long as I remember me and my family have always taken great measure to be sure not to set my father off. Today he grabbed me and screamed in my face for accidentally missing my order at starbucks. And this is not an isolated incident, every few months tension builds (step 1) boils over (step 2) then he makes a hollow apology and promises to never do ti again (step 3) then a grace period before it starts again (step 4). I am tired of this and am considering telling my Mom. But she will try to defend him and all I want to know is if you think this classifies as abuse.

P.s. This cycle can go from a few weeks to a few months to complete.
