I love our daughters and yes I have a good relationship with them, but I can not make them wish their father a "Happy Fathers Day."
So guess what, My husband, he Raged and Raged about not getting "Happy Father Day" wishes from our daughters. He raged at me for raising ungrateful daughters, Wow, This whole thing makes me so sick and sad.
I know I can not fix , only God can do that, so I do pray a lot.
Also I always remind myself -
"Where there is anger, there is always pain underneath." by Eckhart Tolle
Tolle is right, but you are not an emotional punching bag. Your husband was there too, or maybe not because he was drinking instead of parenting?
Your daughters are being honest. It was your own fear of him yelling at you that perhaps was the reason you tried to make them say something that wasn't their truth?
Tolle would say what to that?
So sorry you are living with this
