I'm so sorry to hear that you have been forced to come out and haven't been able to do so on your own terms.
On a positive note, it would seem that you have a father that loves you very much, he could have denied your sexuality, but he is dealing with it it. Your father will go through a process now where he will grieve, he may get angry, he may blame himself, but in the end he WILL accept the fact and he will continue to love and support you, so just let him have a little space and be open and honest with him when he comes to you and just reassure him that it isn't his fault, parents have a habit of blaming themselves.
Generally mothers take the news that their child is gay better than father, not a hard and fast rule, but more often then not, it works that way.
Time away will probably do you good.
I also offer you friendship if you need someone to chat with, and please if you are feeling down, feel free to contact me or anyone of the good people on GaySpeak that you would feel comfortable chatting with, I would like to think that the active group of people here in GaySpeak are family.
I wish you all the very best Geno *hugs*
