    I would guess he is humiliated by the situation and blaming you for the events that have taken place. It may be a stage of post traumatic stress in which he needs to seek help for. Tell him how you feel. Ask him why he doesn't ask how you are doing or how you like your new school and family. Either way he need not be your problem, you need to just take care of yourself right now.

    You shouldn't have to worry about that right now. Obviously you have been through a LOT lately and your father needs to grow up and realize how hard things have been for you lately. You should just tell him that you need support right now and all the negativity he is showing really isn't helping the situation. Hopefully he will realize that he's not doing the right thing and he'll change. Either way, stay strong, keep your head up, and good luck! =).
