Thank God you didn't get hurt, but I know that still doesn't make it okay. Sometimes my Dad gets scarily angry, and he's sicilian, but he's never really physically hurt me or my brother. I can't imagine being in that situation.
I don't know if this is good advice, but maybe you should just threaten him...Tell him that if he doesn't change or get help that you don't want to ever see him again. Maybe it will scare him enough into trying to change, if not for himself, at least for you and your sister. If he doesn't believe you, maybe you just shouldn't visit him on Father's Day and he'll get an idea especially on that day of how lonely it is without you girls and that if he keeps up this behaviour he won't have you in his life.
*Hugs* Stay strong, and stay safe. I wish there was more I could do.
