Can you help explain my upbringing to me?

I too have had to deal with feelings of resentment and anger towards my abusive father. But I have found comfort in the Bible at Psalm 34:18, "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." Many times I feel depressed because these feelings won't go away and there seems to be nothing anyone can do to fix this wrong. But you too can also read Philippians 4:7. "The peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers." I have found that knowing the truth about God and how he feels about us as individuals, as recorded in the Bible, helps me to keep that peace, even in the worst moments.
