My dad is so mean- what should I do?

Every since I was ten, my parents have been divorced and I am twenty now. In the past ten years, but particularly when I was younger, my father would vicioiusly attack me about her (please, I am not trying to feel sorry for myself or be to descriptive, but this’ll only make sense if I explain it) telling me mom was nothing but a s*** who enjoyed sleeping with every man she worked with, and if he could get away with it he’d kill her. To this day he still doesn’t speak to her, and also when I was younger if he found Mom had gone on a date (they live in a very small town and gossip spreads extremely fast) he would take his anger out on me, given the fact my sister worked as a waitress Mom and a couple of her dates had gone to the resturaunt she worked in and would tell my dad- and I would be so terrified of the upcoming words he would bestow upon me I would slightly shake. He’s better now, but still hates her. Just a couple of days ago I asked him for a ride to class because of bad weather, and he lanched into this whole lecture on how selfish I am for not going to see his mother, ect, ect, and I forget, but for some reason I brought up how at least one of his kids is getting more than an eighth grade education (my sister dropped out of school when she was younger) and then he exploded saying how I talk like my “Euro-trash arrogant relatives” (Mom and her family are originally from Portugal) and he often puts me down about my dream of one day being a clinical psychologist because “I don’t take stress well and freak out too much” and I’ won’t be good at it. But ironically, he’s the person who made me want to be a psychologist as I want to dedicate my life to helping others, particularly children with learning disabilities and with divorced parents so they won’t have to endure what I did with my dad. Thank you all for your time and what should I do about this?

what can i do to make colleges look at me in a better way?

Okay im very pissed off right now here is my life. Ok so since i had a learning disability teacher recomended puting me in a cp2 class so i was that up toňth grade, and the teachers sucked i didn’t learn anything and there were all low down drug type people in the class, then in 9th grade in the autitorium there was an assembly on how important highschool is, so then i went and tried a cp class ( physics) and the students were much better nicer, and overall better. I got a B in that class, and an award since i stayed after when i needed help and it all made since, then in 10th grade i took all cp classes, and made the honor role on the first semester, but did bad in one class on the second semester, now in 11th grade i have a A+ in math and a B+ in english and my lowest grade is a c+ in health which is the easiest class. Now just think if i was in cp from the begining, maybe i would be in all honors, have much better sense, and more. But hey I am not a drugie, and i try hard in school. How would colleges know my backround, cause not much people will do what i did, from being in a depressing level of classes for that long. I am thinking of maby doing clubs or something but would colleges actually look at that? I can’t do sports. But what can i do I am in 11th grade got less then half the year left and next year. What are some things to do to make you look better. I want to takeŁ honors class next year but i don’t know if it will make me look like an idiot, first cp2 classes then cp, then honors. Im nto retarded, it just takes me longer to obtain information then others.
my gpa was a 3.4 droped to aŃ.1 when i did bad in biology now it should go back up to something higher. I got an A+ in math B+ in English, B+ in chem B- in History and A in 1 elective while c+ in health i did better on midterms then last year, the midterms and finals are what hurt me, worth Ǵ% of your grade, and you have them all in a week..

How do you teach someone with learning disabilities?
