You were robbed. What your father did is just despicable. But technically and legally, the money you earned and saved before you reached the age of 18 is under the control of your parents.
Getting kicked out and having to support yourself may be a good thing. You have been working since your were 14 and saved up a nice nest egg. Your plans for travel and college will have to wait now until you recover. And I think you will.
That is a hard lesson you learned. And as the old saying goes, You can't get blood out of a stone.
