if you dont want to stay with him shift to a rented accommodation near your college . no need to disown your father .

your mother /sister can file complaint of DV against him and seek protection order against him . also seek maintenance and right to stay in matrimonial home

It is very unfortunate for you , your sister and mother who all have been suffering from own husband and father. Your mother and sister can seek remedy from court under domestic violence Act for living separately from him and also maintenance and other expenses besides compensation by doing so your sister's education will not be affected financially.You can also stay with your mother and sister . Let him live alone. For any clarification or legal help you may contact me, if so desire.
