Marital problems

Q: My mum got married to a divorced man 26 years back. Well my father now is 63 years old, talks to girls in front of my mum, give his card to them and asks them for dinner and has bad intentions which I can't even say. I am his daughter. We all know and I have myself saw him walking and touching ladies hands, gazing at them, watching porn videos and asking my mum to have anal sex. My father knows that Islam declared these thing haram but he does not have sense of it. He does not perform namaz. It seems that he is totally out of religion, he is a very very bad person. I don't even like him. Sometimes he says I will go out with girls have diner and will do anal sex when I get a chance. Many things I have herd myself. My mom says I spend my whole life with him bearing his bad words, abuses, his hand when he beats her, his belt etc, still he is like this as if she means nothing to him. He also makes fun of her. My mum is a sugar and blood pressure patient and sometimes she feels like her brain will burst. I love her and can't see her this way. My brothers are not helping mother and they are not interested. They shout at her. Only I am my mum's shoulder. Please tell me what should I and my mum do? It is getting out of control.

A: If he has got no regard and respect for deen any longer then I think that the right thing will be to leave him and live separately.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
