I agree with SnahiFaye, even if you did have a degree in marriage and family counseling this would be a bad idea. Your dad needs to learn to haev some empathy and be able to self reflect. This is his doing by being unable to control himself. If you are to get involved, it should be to tell your dad to clean up his act asap and learn to act like an adult. If anyone tried to hang my education over me like a dangling carrot, I'd tell them to shove it. For now, you should consider finding alternative funding for school. Scholarships and grants are all out there waiting for you.
If my dad ever hit my mom, I would suggest that HE leave. Spousal abuse is inexcusable and cannot be tolerated for any reason. He is lucky that the police weren't involved, but your mom should have called them immediatally.
