Hey, so I am in my early twenties and I’m coming to the end of my lease at my current house. I am currently studying away from home but my course finishes in early September, and I want to stay where I currently am, finish studying and begin building a life for myself. However, when I told my dad this, his words were “you’re not staying there, you are going to come home, finish your course here then move out. I am not trying to stop you from moving out, but you’re not staying there”. On the phone call I simply said okay, but I am absolutely not okay with this plan. How do I go about this situation because I really don’t want to go home as I have no freedom or independence there, and there’s no guarantee that I’ll be able to move out as soon as I finish, and even if I did, I do not want to do that. For some extra information, my dad is a very domineering and controlling man and I guess he just wants the best for me, but his ways of going about that are concerning to say the least. My girlfriend was listening to the phone call at the time and said that I should tell him no, that I am not going to move anywhere and that I am staying here. I am honestly scared to death of him, but I am tired of always rolling over and doing what doesn’t make me happy. Any advice on how to navigate this would be appreciated. submitted by /u/streetsstaywatchin
