Serving one's parents while listening to their hurtful comments

Q: I left my home due to toxic and unjust family matters that were affecting me and my wife emotionally and mentally. I rented a home not too near not too far from my parents, and everyday I go to my parents house to do any work they want, as my father is a paralysis patient. Everyday I give him a massage and bath him and simultaneously listen to hurtful comments and smile and not reply so the atmosphere don't get more tense. Am I doing right or wrong and will any curse of my parents for me to Allah affect me?

A: Alhamdulillah, you are fulfilling your duty to your parents. May Allah Ta'ala accept, and give you tawfeeq to be of further service to them. Try your level best to keep them comfortable and bring cheer and happiness to their hearts.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
