It's expected that something so huge would have an impact on your family life, but it's not good that your father is ignoring you and your mom. Work is probably his stability. You haven't done anything wrong. I know it because he has so much on his mind, that's why he is snapping at you every time you offer a helping hand. Don't think you've done anything wrong.
He probably doesn't feel "in the way" while he's working, plus it will keep his mind off of things in the house. He most likely doesn't want to think about it, because it makes him really sad. That's expected. But I bet money that he doesn't mean to ignore you. His mind is probably going haywire about various things, and when your father and mother get into arguments, it probably makes it all worse for him. And considering this situation, he probably has come to love you and your mom more than ever, realizing what he has: a great family, a loving daughter, and other things that people would normally take for granted.
But the thing I want to stress most is that you haven't done anything wrong. Don't think that way. It sounds like this situation is making everything confusing, but even though I don't live with you guys, I know you didn't do anything wrong.
