You did the right thing to run to a close relatives home. Your dad is the adult - he should be in better control of his emotions. It sounds like the family needs therapy big time.
You need to have another adult intervene here. You should not just go back home. There is a big problem and it needs careful and immediate attention.
If there is a counselor at school you can talk to, please do that. If the relative you are staying with can talk to your dad, that might work.
The fact that he has unplugged the phone and isn't answering his cell phone is a red flag that this man is out of control - he is acting more like a child than you are.
Stay with the family you are currently with - until you can get someone in authority to ensure that you will be safe in your home.
If your dad decides to kill himself, that is his decision. Again, this man is an adult and should be capable of making adult decisions. You (especially at 16 years of age) should not have to be worrying about whether or not he will commit suicide.
You have to understand that you can not control your Dad. If he is going to harm himself, he's making that decision. He is using you as an excuse - not a reason. Do not be duped by his unstable emotional condition - it is his problem not yours.
Do not return home until an outside authority figure tells you it is safe and okay to return home.
God bless you - you have a good head on your shoulders and are making some good choices.

You just need to get away for a while, you was in a very dangerous sitution at you farthers house, you should look out for your saftey first. But you should still try to talk it out with your dad, because is thicker than water, Even if he doesn't listen tell him what you have to say and leave it to him to think about it, you haven't done anything wrong, good to school and continue with you education, don't put to much pressure on yourself cause things will work out just have to take it day by day, go luck!!!!

Don't go back until your Dad gets help. Talk to a school nurse or counselor about your anxiety. Pray your Dad realizes what is happening to him and you and gets help. God always hears.

if you feel safer where you are you should stay there and call your dad let him know you love him, youre safe and you think that he needs help. maybe your encouragement will get him help. try talking to a counselor at school or someone who can help you as for school maybe the relative you are staying with can take you to school

Call the police and tell them you need the number for Child Protective Services. Call them and tell them what's happening.

ask one of your family members to call the police where your dad is and explain to them that know one has heard from him and that he is not picking up the phone. ask the police to go and check on him, if they tell the police that this is not normal for him. they will check on him.
