Morgan, I am so sorry that you are scared. I remember when I was a teenager I was petrified of my mother (I am actually still scared of her). Whenever there was anything I was worried about, something I thought she wouldn't like or would be mad about, I would worry myself into basically puking and crying. I was soo, soo scared of her. Maybe you could talk to your dad and have him sit down with you when your mom gets home if you have things you really have to talk to her about. Also, tell your dad you want to see a therapist, he can help support you on that point with you mom as well.

When I was upset, or scared or all the million things my mom made/makes me feel, I would often write to her to try to get it out (she would never let me talk to her face to face without it turning into something horrible). How has she responded to letters from you in the past?

Good luck, sweetheart. Let us know how you are.

Btw, how old are you? Are you old enough to move out?
