If you don't mind my asking, why do you live with your mom? Can't you live with your dad, or tell your mom absolutely no to the emails (i know parents can be good at manipulation) and tell her you ARE seeing your dad, because he is your dad and you love him? Maybe threaten to move out if she won't listen?
It just doesn't seem fair for your mom to drag you through her anger and hurt, especially when you already have so many other things to deal with. So try and stand up to her. You have every right to see him, no matter what he did to her. Their relationship shouldn't have to affect your feelings about him if you don't want it to. As long as he is loving toward you, that's all that matters.
As for seeing him and not telling her, I personally don't think that's a problem. You're an adult; you can see who you want.
Take care. :)
