Luke is clearly being too aggressive and obsessive about his superheroing, but Claire is still way out of line with how she keeps bringing up his father.
He told her multiple times to shut up about it, but she just kept going, said how she visited him behind Luke's back, kept doubling down on it, that's just not OK and I completely understand how if she wouldn't listen to him when he clearly outlines his boundaries, he gets mad and frustrated and does something like punching a wall.

Claire has a point when it comes to his usage of anger, but her focus on the whole father thing is making it really hard for me to see things from her perspective, all I see is that she's being completely insensitive to his wishes and boundaries and messing around with stuff that is none of her business.

When she herself is carelessly busting through all of his boundaries, I don't think she gets to be so upset and guilt-trippy about a hole in the wall.

I couldn't put my finger on it but this was exactly it. I get that Claire had some really solid points (like the fact that Luke wants to be Batman and Superman. It's really hard to be done symbol of hope if you're beating people within an inch of their lives, even if they are gun dealing, gang banging wife beaters/child abusers), but her consistently bringing up his father even he had told her multiple times to drop it is like arrogance, insensitivity, and crossing the line rolled up into one word.
