My father cursed me after I stood up for my mom, and I’m worried it might be valid

Salam everyone. So, today my dad said something that really hurt me. He claimed my mom didn’t raise us properly. They’ve been married for 27 years, but honestly, he’s never treated her well. From the very start, he was physically and emotionally abusive toward her. They used to live with his family, where everyone emotionally tormented her, and he hurt her physically. They eventually moved out, but the damage was already done-she’s been traumatized by them her whole life and hates them all. Anyway, today we were talking one-on-one, and he started badmouthing my mom again, saying she failed as a mother. I couldn’t take it anymore. I told him straight up that I didn’t understand why he always has to talk badly about her. In the heat of the moment, I said I just wanted to get away from him and live alone in peace. Then he hit me with this-he said that sons who don’t obey their fathers will never succeed, and a father’s curse will follow them forever, and they’ll never find peace. I try to be respectful to him even though I don’t like him, but sometimes it’s just too much. My question is: does a father’s curse really stick, even if he’s the one who’s wrong and just trying to control his wife and kids?

You did the right thing g. Islam teaches kindness to parents, but not blind obedience in sin.

That's so heavy, man. But remember, du'a of the oppressed is directly answered. Your mom's tears won't go to waste.

The curse only sticks if it's justified. From what you described, his heart is full of injustice. Don't live in fear bro.
