I think speaking to him seriously, without being disrespectful, and working with the local scholars will put an end to this. -
You can find another arrangement for his housing. Rent him a room. Find a relative or friend that he can stay with. Put him in an inpatient mental health program. Leave the house yourself if necessary. Your mom is kind and compassionate, but probably speaking from a place of fear. Do what is right for her and for yourself and for any other family members now or in the future, and do what you need to do to keep everyone safe and sane. -

Thanks for your advice. The only way I can physically distance myself from him is to kick him out of my house. But that would mean literally putting him on the street (he has no savings or retirement)…. My mom keeps telling me to fight the urge to do this. Because as bad as he is, the reality is this action would mean I have abandoned my 60+ year old penniless dad at his old age. -
You can distance yourself from him without cutting ties entirely. You are allowed to protect yourself and to try to protect your mother. Nothing in Islam requires us to be subject to a tyrant. After you've separated yourself from him, you should try to forgive him and pray that he changes his hateful and hypocritical ways. But you are never obligated to stay patient while you're being abused or while your family is being abused.
