I don't think caring for a parent is a legal obligation in the States, but checking with an attorney is wise advice. I seem to remember that you are living in your father's house. That might entail some legal obligation. I live in a state with a high elder population. Periodically there will be a story in the news about someone arrested for neglecting an elderly parent when the person arrested was living with the elderly person in their home.
Various societies have different perspectives on the moral obligation. Some view it as a duty, others not. Because the US is such a melting pot opinions vary.
My personal opinion is that no one has to accept abuse from someone else. If you are living in your father's house I would encourage you to find a way to move out. If he is living in your house how about an assisted living facility or nursing home?
