My dad's abusive and I'm leaving for college in a few months. I can rough it at a women's and children's center until then, but my mother and sister won't be able to (require meds, need finanical support, etc). I want to report my father but not if my other family will be more unsafe.

You can make a confidential report to CPS and let them investigate. Beyond that, you probably should wait until you’re permanently out of the residence.

No. The mother's better course is to do nothing. If the father petitions, then the fights begin. The mother should not start a confrontation when one is not needed.
She was stolen by my ex just to hurt me. She’s filed false papers claiming my cat is her “companion cat”. I have all the proof & witnesses to support the truth in this matter.
