A route that writers often take when describing abuse (if that's what you want to call it) is discussing their weakness/helplessness in their situation. Or you could discuss the impact this has made in your adult life (if you are an adult) in how you manage your rage as opposed to your father's methods. Or you could talk about why we tend to inflict pain on those we love (or why we get hurt from those we thought we loved). There are many potent metaphors you can use to encapsulate the grander idea you would like to portray. At the moment, your piece needs that purpose to elevate it. Good luck!
