My(f15) dad is being released after being arrested for heroin and coming back home, but I don't really want him back

Mom doesn't like when I talk about it to her, but they're usually arguing and going at each other, and sometimes they're yelling at each other after we go to bed. I have two siblings; my older brother is in college and doesn't live with us, and I have a younger sister (f12) who also doesn't like when they fight. My brother doesn't really do anything with the family anymore, and mom said that he doesn't think he's a part of it too

My dad was arrested almost a year ago for heroin, and I don't know if mom knew about it before that happened or not. Mom said that he is coming to live with us again soon, but it's been more peaceful without him here and always fighting, and it's been less scary at home too. I was able to ignore it sometimes before he went away, but now that he's coming back, I feel like it'll go back to how it was, and when I try to talk to mom and even ask if she's okay after they fight, she yells at me and sometimes my sister too when we did nothing wrong and don't even know what they fight about

I didn't tell mom to not take him back. I just asked if she was also okay after dad left when she seemed sad, but she just ignores me or gets really angry sometimes, but more often yelling at me just when I try to help. Is there anything I can do to help her feel better or avoid their fighting? She said something about dad having to do probation when he gets back, but I don't know if that will make them argue less or mean that he is out of the home more

​

TL;DR: My dad is coming back after he was arrested last year, but mom has been yelling at me and my sister when I ask if she is okay when she's sad, and I don't want them to fight again when he comes back because it's been better, but she also said that he has to do probation and I don't know if that means he will be out of the home more and not around to fight as much
