I'm so sorry John.  I know how upsetting this must be. It hurts when we find out that our parents are "human" and make huge mistakes. We put all our trust in them, and then they do something like this to deflate our trust.
I do think it's very unfair for your Dad to be unavailable. He should keep his phone on and working so you can contact him.
It's possible this is just a mid-life crisis he's going thru. Maybe it will all blow over soon. But in the meantime, I know how hurt you are -- and your poor mother too!!!
Can you talk with a school counselor? I don't know if you've gone back to school after summer recess, but the school counselors are always available -- and I'm sure they could help you with this. They would be more than willing to speak with you, I'm sure. You need someone to talk to. 
Many kids think that they are to blame when this kind of thing happens, but I hope you know that it has NOTHING to do with YOU. So if you've had any of those kinds of thoughts -- toss them out!
God bless & please take care. You sound like a very nice person. Hugs, Lee
