What the Hell do we do now? email this discussion to a friend?

Okay, I've had it with the recent behavioral issues with my father. My parents normally get into the usual spat, but recently, it's been taken too far. I could take it when the issues remained between the two, but now that my brother's gotten involved and more trouble than the usual has been stirred up, I'm not just going to sit around. Thing is, I have no idea what to do now.
Ahh, I better tell the issue before asking anything.

My brother was supposed to go to Vegas with my dad, but the day before the trip, my parents got into the argument, and my brother decided to change his mind about going with him. Then THAT caused an even bigger issue! I really don't know how to describe it, but, in the end, my brother got called a coward for not going, and dad left by himself for the week.
Now, he's coming home tomorrow, and we don't know what's going to happen. My mom suggested we go to a hotel for the weekend, but we're still unsure.

But, all and all, we have no idea what to do about our dad. During these things, he has his fits, then leaves for a week for his job, then comes back on the weekend as if it's never happened. On top of it, he even lied when people asked why my brother didn't go with him, saying that my mom didn't let him.

I don't know what to do anymore. I can't stand seeing my mom when she doesn't have an answer, either. I don't want my parents to break up or anything, because we're not doing well at all financially, but they always end up hurting each other.
I hope this makes sense.

What do we do? I need help.

it is quite a complex situation, I have experienced something similar in childhood. I fet the same way.

It seems the options are to help outside help:
1. relatives and friends
2. government

Option 1 is best. There are easier ways to settle differences.
Option 2 is about asking social services to do what is needed. People may go to jail, custody of children may change. The results may be very quick but may not be so pleasant since it is driven by law, not by the preferences of everyone concerned.

If the trouble is too great, perhaps option 2 can be tried by calling social welfare in your location. This is just my opinion. Please consult an expert.

Cheers:)
