I don't know what to do at all.

My mom has been getting really depressed lately. It's because she is kind of trapped in a way. My dad is the biggest control freak EVER.. and I'm not exaggerating. As in he yells at us for buying a sandwich from McDonalds. We live in a really crappy condo in a really bad neighborhood, too.. and my two younger sisters, my mom, and I all know my dad has the money to get a us a decent house in a good area. He never tells us anything about moving, changing anything in our current home to make it at least LIVEABLE, and yells at us for asking and tells us that it's 'none of our business' and that 'your mom should get a job and get us a house instead'. My mom tries in every way possible to get to him and let us live a normal life, but he never understands. We've been living like this constantly for about 5 years, and my sisters and I usually ignore it. The last two years the situation is getting kind of scary for me in the way that my mom's health is getting weird because of my dad. She's getting really depressed and gets really dizzy sometimes, and sometimes worse. I get scared sometimes that my mom will go crazy because of my dad or something. I told her a while ago that she should divorce my dad but she told me she couldn't afford a life for us and all.. I even told her to leave us with our dad and go because I really don't want her to suffer but she started crying and so I never mentioned it again. She only wants us to be happy and we can't be happy if she isn't. It's messed up and I don't know what I can do. I'm only 14 but I feel so responsible.. I tried talking to everyone I know about it but they couldn't do anything for me. I don't know what to do.. my dad's insane and I swear we all hate him. He's just caging us thinking that he's some type of god or something. I try to talk to him too but like I said.. he yells at us for stating our opinions. What can I do in any way?
