SO I am soo excited to Graduate from High School in May:cool: But, I do not want to head off to college with any regrets. My dad and I since I was in 5th grade, really do not like each other. He always yells at me over stupid things, overanalyzes situations, ALWAYS plays the "What will others think about you if..." card, he always puts me down, he baby's me, and it either always late, on the phone, doing work, or ignoring me. I want to be able to talk to him and not have an argument about something stupid that does not matter. I feel that me self-esteem has lowered significantly in the past few years because he always wants me to think I have to pay attention to what others think about me. Also, he baby's me 24/7!!! I am 18 years old and he MAKES me work for his company (I understand that jobs are hard to find now but now that I am 18 I need to take responsibility for myself and find my OWN job) and I can not work with him!!! He makes me stop in the middle of doing really hard homework to do stuff for him (let dog out, feed cat, do dishes, etc) while he is sitting on his ASS! It makes me mad because he knows with my learning disability, when I stop in the middle of things, I can not focus on it anymore. Then, if he sees my grades drop, he gets all pissed off and its because I am too tired to function in school because I am up all night doing homework and chores he is to lazy to do and I can not stay focused on the homework I have because I have to stop in the middle of it!! I have tried to talk to him and he doesn't bother to listen and it really hurts :(. I want to go to College next year telling myself "My dad and I had a great relationship"! Not "My dad is a douschebag!" What should I do?
