Hey there, throwaway for obvious reasons. So, here is a bit of backstory:

After seeing that I had well over $800 dollars in my own account, and little games in my collection, I decided to go on Steam and make a few purchases. I wanted to use my own bank account with PayPal - however, my mother was strictly adamant about it, so I used, in secret, her debit card. I attempted linking it with my bank account, but it ultimately failed, remaining to her account.

After spending about $700 dollars in the course of 9 months, I was about to reveal this to my parents, when my dad gets a disturbing phonecall from a bank in Amsterdam. It was his brother and another angry guy, who claimed that money from their bank accounts was missing. And also, money from my dad's account was missing - he was pissed real bad. On the phone, he sounded ready to kill me, and tells me that I've been stealing money from him.

I checked my PayPal purchase history - nothing but the purchases I made, and I tell him that they must be making a mistake. There was absolutely no transaction that linked to his or his brother's acoounts. I then carefully explain to him that I am going to pay for my purchases, and that he shouldn't be making a fuss about it. Instead, he blows in rage and tells me that I'm "going to be in deep shit when [he comes] home".

We are financially stable, and yes, I can pay for all my expenses, but he is making such a big drama about it and says that we are going to "lose the house" and we're going to be homeless. What can I do to calm him down and defuse the situation?
