I am glad you decided to share this with a mental health expert. I understand what you are going through when we trust someone blindly and see that person not being able to live to our expectations we experience anger, anxiety, sadness and so many mixed emotions. I know you need an answer from your father for so many questions going on in your mind right now. Its also because we look at our parents as God or as people who can never go wrong in life but if we look at them as general human beings who can make mistakes atleast our lives will become easier. I am in no way defending your father but i would want to help you cope better with this situation.
Next Steps
1. try to distract your mind into something else when you have thoughts about your father. by distracting i mean getting completely engrossed in that thing so for eg if u r listening to music focus on the beats.
2. you can also think about discussing it with him after taking a few therapy sessions.
3. you need to consult a Psychologist to help deal with your symptoms. it will definitely enhance your coping skills to deal with the current situation

Hi! Our parents are always our ideal. Sometimes their choices contradict the image we have. I can imagine the confusion and the trust issues you might be dealing with. There is no justification to some actions.

As per my views, I would like to suggest you to seek sessions. Where psychologist/psychotherapist, will hear you out. Will help you go through the situation.

What is bothering you, that your father cheated your MOM, or that he is with a girl of your age.
I think it is both.
Still, there is a lot of anger and frustration which is affecting your studies and focus on you studies.
It is better to work with yourself தான் in trying to talk about this to your family members.
Next Steps
Try to reach out to a professional who can guide you to overcome this situation calmly.
