Father’s Day

In Islam you are taught to love and respect your parents no matter what and to always have their back. With Father’s Day you see all these posts from people talking about their love and appreciation for their fathers but how can I feel the same when all I’ve ever know from my father is some form of abuse. When thinking of my childhood the main thing that pops up is the verbal, emotional, and physical abuse put upon me by my father. Granted his reasons may have been for making me a better person and to teach me a lesson but he could have achieved that in non abusive ways. So tell me then, how am I as a Muslim supposed to still have feelings of love and appreciation for my father when the main thing I remember of him is the abuse
