I think they can. My parents continue to attempt to control my life even though
I don't even talk to them any more. I constantly get emails about how I belong
to them and how I'm going to go to hell because I don't talk to them any more.
How they are MY FAMILY and that they need to come first (even though I've been
married for almost two years and have a little girl of my own now) I'm told I'm
wrong, I am incapable of making my own decisions, I'm reminded that my
Grandfather died without seeing his granddaughter, that my grandmother will too
and that I will regret that...all kinds of things. Oh, I don't talk to them any
more because my father came over and attacked my husband after failing to get me
to leave with him and have my little girl at their house. My husband called the
police to get rid of him.

What you described sounds really bad. You could try talking to him about it,
but it didn't work with my parents. It might be grief that is causing him to
strike out like that and if he is amenable to counseling, that would be good.
Again, I have no clue what your father is like and how he will react to
anything, so advice from other people can be dangerous.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Can a parent abuse their child even after they are grown up? For the
last few years, I've felt like my dad has verbally and emotionally
abused me, and recently, we had an incident where I had to call the
cops to get him to calm down. He was swearing at me, yelling,
screaming, throwing things, and even attempted to throw my PC monitor
at me. I'm still truly scared out of my mind that I don't know what to
do... I'm scared to stay at home (I've been living with him since my
mom died...) Can any of you give me any kind of advice? Thank you...
