My dad is a drunk and I need advice on what exactly to do?

I’ll add in the total details below but needed information just to quick answer is that he’s emotionally abusive, though not physically. He has told me he wished I would just go away or that I had never come to be, and has always degraded me along with never being there like other people’s dads. I went to a coworker’s house Thursday and stayed with him after a fight I had with my dad that sent me walking down the road waiting for a ride since he took my keys. I just want to know what to do, I can’t stand it anymore and hate being here because of it.

There’s the quick over view, people who don’t want to read on, I can understand and just a quick answer would be greatly appreciated. Though more detailed explanation is below. Again you don’t have to read on from here if you don’t have the time or what not. Thanks to all your answers in advance.

Thursday he came home drunk and called me downstairs from my room which is normally where I hide out when he comes home. He normally comes home at least a bit drunk and in public he’s very enjoyable to be around but in private he’s degrading to say the least. Giving a quick over view in the 17 years Ive been alive he’s told me he wished he wore a condom, that I won’t amount to anything but what he is, among many other things.

Normally I would write him a letter explaining, since I’ve always been better with written words than spoken due to my shyness. I love to write and that has since been thrown down and stepped on, dream wise, when he comes home.

During his mascarade Thursday night he came home and called me downstairs then continued to assault me with various names that I can’t include on yahoo. He told me I should just leave and so I did. I went to somebody’s house I work with and stayed up pretty late playing games and just relaxing (I got sick and started puking later on in the night but not to much dismay since one guy was high, the other was halfway drunk and the girl was rather caring. None the less he didn’t say much to me after that, or since then. I come home from my girlfriend’s tonight after the big game and my parents nearly follow me in driving up the driveway since they were at a separate party. My dad began yelling, screaming and swearing to my mom that she needed to find a new place to live, he was obviously drunk again.

I just want to know what to do. I have an offer to live with the guys I stayed with (I don’t drink, I smoke cigarettes but not to a huge degree, and have only smoked weed twice, Thursday being the second and by god the last) I’m home schooled since being pulled out of school from being sick (I’m quite sure it’s from the stress of my dad coming home and yelling at me every night)

I’m not sure what to do anymore, he’s really charismatic around other people and I highly doubt people actually believe me when I mention anything that goes on. And he lays a guilt trip whenever I do leave. I stayed at my girlfriend’s house by the good will of her parents for a couple days a couple months ago, but since then… nothing’s changed.
