A little background info:
My parents separated when I was 7, my mother stayed in the house and my father moved into an apartment. They never actually divorced, so they're legally married; my mother doesn't work. After my father left, the house steadily deteriorated, there are holes in the wall, missing windows, rotting wood, mold, leaking pipes, etc. It's not a bad house, it's just 7 years worth of repairs. My mother is a complete sucker and thinks all the repairs will cost $75,000(probably a tenth of that) and my father falls into that hole a bit, however he's mainly a procrastinator(the apartment was a temporary place, it's been 7 years) and doesn't care because he doesn't live there. He also blames my mother for "Ruining my investment, the most expensive thing I ever owned."
Fast forward to today, I'm 14 and usually live with my father, I sleep there basically every night and just spend the afternoons at the house after school; my legal residents doesn't reflect that though. I see his place as my main home, but he maintains that I am a guest there even though I'm there probably 95% of the time. This is aided by their proximity as I can easily walk between the residences.
About two weeks ago we got into a big fight and I've been with my mom in the meantime. He took my key and locked me out. I asked for it back, he said no, I then reminded him that I could get one from the landlord. He said he would notify them that I couldn't have one. I told him I'd break in.
I was out of town and upon my return I needed some things from his place, so I went to the apartment offices and demanded a key, they told me I couldn't have one. I then put a brick through the sliding glass door. He says "It's not your right to be here."
And maintains I'll be convicted of breaking and entering(he also maintains that the repair will cost "tens of thousands of dollars")
