A Father's Curse on His Children

Question
When a father is unjust and bad, and he curses his children, humiliating them even though they are committed, are his angry prayers answered?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The father's prayer is answered if he is in the right, but despite that, the children must continue to be dutiful to him and do good to him, and God knows best.
