It doesn't make sense.
Just treat him as if he has no power over you.
What's the worst that could happen?
Okay, you'd get hit, and it'd be legal if it were in your best interest, but I think that it really wouldn't be, because you'd be hit for following your mothers orders which then would become abuse.
I don't know if you get the logic in that.
All in all, just keep ignoring him like your mother said, and by that do what you would if your mother was around and you weren't grounded.
Some people really don't deserve to be parents, and if he's just sticking around, because he doesn't like to see you cry, then he's sticking around for the wrong reasons. He should be there to support you, care for you, and love you. [ IxAmxCrying's advice column | Ask IxAmxCrying A Question ]

I've been in similar situations. Have you talked about everything he says to you to your Mother?
Just make sure that she knows. That's all I can tell you. If it gets worse, talk to your Mother about you staying with a friend. Nobody should be put through that.
I guess it's a bit of a threat to your Mother. If and if, she has the ability to kick him out.
