“Listen.  I want to go to this school.  Wait, before you say anything to me I want you to hear me out.  This will be my chance to get out of here, and not get stuck in a rut.  It is a better school, with more opportunities.”

And if he denies me the right to go.. he will get his feelings hurt by the following:

“And if you don’t let me go, you’re robbing me of a better opportunity because you want to be selfish.  I feel like I’m turning into you, and that is NOT something I strive to be.  You’re treating me like my mother, and I’m not your fucking wife.  I will not be stuck in this house all day, I will not quit one of my jobs just because you think I’m getting detracted from school.  You don’t even know any classes I’m taking, fuck off like you ACTUALLY are involved.  Besides your credit card number, you really have no involvement.  This other job– a reason to get away from you ALWAYS being there.  It’d be nice if for a second you’d actually care about what I want to do in life instead of being some.. loser with no point in life.”

That’s harsh.  But my dad has no point.  No friends.  He does the same damn thing everyday.  I care, I do.  But when you act the way he does, sometimes you don’t deserve any better.  Maybe I’m angry at him because it rubs off on me.  But I do know I’m angry because it’d piss me off if he thinks that anyway wants to be that way, especially his daughter.
