AIO/Advice - argument with Dad

So basically my dad’s a not nice person and is constantly yelling and shouting and saying rude things. Such as “I’ve known you were a failure” or called me selfish and irresponsible. which I’ve always brushed off as since he was a marine so he’s loud and he’s a good father despite all that.
He’s also said stuff to my mother in the past about how I’m always wanting to stay longer at his house when it’s not his time
when MIND YOU he’s always texting me while i’m at my moms to stop at his house to let the dogs out or do some stupid things. WHICH I DO, but it’s hypocritical of him to say that
MOREOVER, I am a good student. I am a minor in high school but I take a lot of college classes and am even taking courses during the summer. HE KNOWS HOW MUCH WORK i put into this and of course he cares about me and wants a good future but he’s also telling my me I’m lazy and to do more stuff when I’m CONSTANTLY studying. Reading and sleeping and the few days I can go out is my only free time.
but now i’m just so fed up of it all and I knew that our relationship was too good at the moment it was like waiting for it to go bad again. bruh I could feel it coming.
So I was basically at his house and I didn’t want to go on the boat since I was up at 5am and had cheer practice from 8-11am so I was just tired and wanted to read, and I was also already burnt from the sun so I didn’t want to make it worse.
Anyways I texted my dad, asking to stay another night. he called me like 3hrs later shouting at me bc he didn’t understand my text asking to stay another night and just being really rude. 

Anyways when he came home he screamed at me—I don’t even know what he was mad at me for??—Talking about how i only care about myself and “i’m just like my mother” and irresponsible bc I didn’t feed the dogs while they were gone when it literally isn’t even my responsibility nor did I realize I had to.
and now it’s been 9 days since I was last there (usually week on week off but I’ve been with my mom for 2weeks now).
My dad and I don’t text a lot but he literally has not texted me since then but like all he does it talk bad about me to my mom and i just can’t
I’ll have to go to his house eventually to grab stuff but I’m actually so fed up with his behavior and I don’t even know what I did wrong. And frankly, I don’t even want to stay there I hate being there and my mother even told him that
I love my father but i’m just so annoyed with brushing off his bad behavior.
anyways what should I do 🫩

As I’m writing this he texted me—my mother had to text him, most likely—asking me when I’m going to come back to the house.
