what to do about a crazy father?

Question

here is my situation. My family and me come from Poland. Currently I go to university. My mother doesn't work, just babysits for free my sister's son. She works there everyday, 5 days sometimes 6 days a week. The only income earner is my father. He is kinda crazy man. He (the same way my sister is) blames others, especially my mom and me for his irresponsible actions or troubles that happens against him. For example he set up checking account, somewhere who knows where, overdraft and had this negative balance for 6 months. It hurt his credit and thats primary reason why I am "guilty". 6 months I closed his account on sprint pcs on his request (he does not know well English and purchased second cell phone just to have bills on another address). He never asked me to do anything with checking account, or at least I don't remember. And of course if he really cared he would ask me if I have done this, couple times to make sure everything is ok. But there was no such thing.

When his nephews (from his brother side) borrowed cars and crashed, then it was not big deal.
One them even crashed car so it was no longer useful. Then there was not yelling at all about or noise
HE even was hiding this fact for some time from us. He always have cared more about his brothers
than my mom or me. He emigrated when I was 2 and me and my mother we haven;t seen him for 15 years!
THen when we received immigrant visas, we came here for better life (in the U.S there is much more good opportunities than in Eastern Europe) and to join family.
We then really did not know what challenges will we face from members from our family!
Sometimes my mother is treated unfair even by my sister. She has some common characteristics as father- blaming others!
But my mother cannot walk away, she is very dependent (doesn't drive, doesn't speak english). and we live in suburbs :(
with no advanced communication. My mom said if not me, she would a long time ago go back to Poland

I realize as soon as I become independent, it may happen. Right now I am just only close to 20
and I am freshman at University
Now here is my important part of piece of writting. I need loan for college tution. Since, now
my crazy father will not support me because of such silly thing, my mom will propably sign this
Even if she doesn;t qualify because of credit, I can qualify more for stafford unsubsidized loan.
What if I will need still more to borrow, and I will apply for alternative loan?
I am not yet creditworthy (since I did not have continous job for 2 years). What then I can do about it?
Of course I look for scholarships, but thats rather for next whole year. I received some grants
Do u think my situation would qualify as extraordinary situation to claim myself as independent on FAFSA?
In addition my fahter is also very anxious about borrowing loan or getting savings from Poland to buy for himself second truck
(he works as truck driver).

I do know why he would need that, but what I learned is that he
likes to "throw" money for not very important thins. So what he does is risky.
He had his first truck got broken couple times. he even bought it without letting family to know.
No matter how my mom or I support him or my sister, they are mean people. As soon as I become independent
I will be happy. Right know what I can do about my current situation? I am concerned most about
financing my education and getting a better job in the future.

WOW
talk to your college counselor
I am sure that they will know alot more about scholarships and can point you in the right direction.
Kiss your mother
That is real love
Your father is an azz and sounds like he as another woman on the side.
