Once you learn more about the devastating effect of Stockholm Syndrome, you may develop some empathy for your father's plight - nobody wants to experience domestic violence and abuse, and it's as the responding poster mentioned above: hopelessness is the ruling factor as to why victims remain with abusive partners.
I was just as spineless and allowed as much abuse to occur, and I was often an abuser, as well - sh*t rolls downhill and the stereotypical image of a protective parent taking all of the abuse so that his/her children will be spared is a dramatized and romanticized image that typically does NOT exist in an abusive environment.
Google search "Stockholm Syndrome" and visit the website http://www.ndvh.org
to learn more about the dynamics of this vicious cycle. You may wish, at some point, to seek your own healing path to face down your own personal damage that you sustained as a victim of abuse. That will be a personal choice for you.
Brightest blessings to you.
