I'm sorry, sweetie, I know exactly what that's like. *hugs* Your mom could probably petition the courts to deny him any custody at all; no visitation. What he did to you and your sister IS abuse, and it's not something he should be allowed to continue. I know it doesn't seem fair to cut him off, and that you love him, but it's even more unfair that he threw your sister up the stairs. Cutting off an abuser does NOT make you a bad daughter, especially when you're in a position of not being able to leave the vicinity when he has a fit (...assuming you can't drive yet). He's not the victim, baby. Have you told your mom yet? It's scary to stand up against your parents, and I understand if you chose not take action, but I just want to make sure you know that you don't have to, and don't deserve to, live with that behavior and that kind of pain.
