Dad Problems. Is this how it's supposed to be?

My dad is a complete jackass. He's never in my life. I see him two hours a day tops, he's too selfish to pick my sister and I up from our mothers if he has to take us to school too even though we wouldn't get to his house until past 11 o'clock PM and it would be two hours past our bedtime. He cares more about his precious little ***** of a girlfriend who really needs to **** off because no one likes her anyways, than us. He's never taken my sister or I to any of our school functions. Insists that he claims one of the two of us w/ taxes even though he doesn't pay for our dental care, health care, insurance, or anything else for that matter. Forces us an hour away from our school, friends, and relatives every night. Refuses to feed us on occasion. And is completely indifferent to any of our real problems. Refuses to acknowledge that we actually have work that involves calculators (and won't buy one that's needed for school because it's expensive) Won't pay for new clothes even though our old ones don't fit Won't pay for school supplies (but, by the way, he can afford HD Cable, a big-screen plasma HD TV, an XBOX 360, two controllers, five games, and a PSP to name a bit) Drags me to church every other Sunday to listen to some ******** talk about purging the world of all the other religions and how gays are the filth of the earth (which is completely against my personal beliefs, as a Democrat and as a bisexual) even though I am athiest and he knows very well. Makes me listen to our "relatives" make racial slurs and offend me. Lets his beloved's son be a complete bastard (teasing, again, racial slurs, and flicking food into my cleavage and not doing a thing about it) Slaps us around, verbal abuse He's so cheap when it comes to us, he wouldn't pay for my anti-depresents even though they were generic $4 ones, wouldn't begin to think about paying for my route canal, the splint my sister had when she broke her arm, or any hospital bills. Doesn't give a **** that we are still struggling with the divorce. So tell me. Is this how things are supposed to be when your parents are divorced?
--------------------
No, that's far from normal. I can't tell what's normal for divorced parents, but they shouldn't be any different to their kids than married parents. Talk to your mom about it. Tell her everything. Your dad is not supposed to be this way. Woah, woah, woah. Kill yourself? Listen, there's always a way out. No matter what. I promise. I won't go into my religious beliefs on you, because the last thing you need right now is to have someone go on and on about their beliefs, and I don't want to force my beleifs onto you, but trust me, life gets better. Just think about in a few years you'll be grown and you can move away from all this. It's basically just a little bitty ditch in your life. Stick firm to your beliefs no matter what anyone tells you, hold on to your dreams, and stand up for what you believe in. I hope things get so much better than they are now. You'll be alright! =>
