My father is an emotionally abusive alcoholic. When we were small he and his late mother used to emotionally abuse us and my mother. After the death of my grandmother he became more abusive towards my mother and us…Now I am wondering as he is so abusive towards us and any of our servants that work in our house . Is it possible that It can affect our qubuliat of dua. Can his deeds affect us?…

I’m sorry to hear about this trouble you are facing, may Allah give you patience and relief. Other than the abuse that he inflicts upon you and it’s emotional and psychological impact, he cannot do anything to block or ruin your connection to Allah. Therefore, keep asking Him for help and relief. Although you should always maintain your respect to your father, you and your family (no one) should tolerate abuse or oppression. In this respect may only be not doing something bad in return to him. May Allah solve your problems
