How can one deal with a father who abuses his wife and children verbally and physically, refuses to talk, does not seek employment, doubts his wife, and escalates his abusive actions despite attempts at reform?

The father must provide for his family, as this is a requirement of his guardianship. The wife must respond to her husband for intimacy unless she has a valid excuse, with the husband considering his wife's circumstances. Both the father and mother must fulfill their rights and duties. One can seek help from close relatives to advise the father to look for work and spend [on the family]. Frequent supplication is important, and parents should avoid supplicating against their children. It is also important to maintain communication with the father without cutting ties.
