Grrr...I'm so mad right now!!
12 years ago
My apologies for what I'm about to do, but I am going to have a ranting session...! I am just so pissed off right now...
So get this, my dad has gotten a hair up his ass lately; he thinks that he cannot trust me to do what I am responsible for doing. Lately he has been yelling at me for not doing my chores everyday, when I spent all damn day cleaning for the past two months. He has also been randomly searching my room for stuff as well. It's almost like he's expecting to find a drug stash or something!
As if invading my privacy wasn't bad enough, he has tightened the reins on my curfew. I work full time at mcdonalds as a crew trainer. I work the evening shift everyday from 2-10pm; he has my curfew set at 10:10pm sharp. If I'm not home exactly by then, I get my ass chewed out for being late! (My managers sometimes have to keep kid late, deal with it!!)
I have my own car, a little red Suzuki hatchback. I make monthly payments on this car, as well as pay for gas; but my dad requires that if I want to go anywhere (including work) that I have to call him and get his permission before going anywhere! I got grounded last weekend because I went to go run some errands while he was at work: he took my keys like afifteen year old girl!!
I am freaking 20 years old, almost 21, and he still treats me like a four year old. I am not allowed to speak my mind around him, and I am not allowed to disagree with him over anything. When I get in trouble, I'm not allowed to stick up for myself! I'm just so sick of it!! Today he changed the password on my pc because I didn't want to disturb the sleeping girls, so I waited until noon when everybody was up to do my chores!
I am planning to move out, case I'm sick of it all; but of course he won't let me speak my mind around him!!

Now, I'm going to assume that your father has always been this strict and authoritarian, and that he's probably threatened to kick you out if you don't obey his rules. You said that you were planning to move out? That's probably your best course of action. From what I've seen of this brief snapshot of your life, you're both subject to abusive rules and illegal punishments. Moving out is a start, but it's not nearly as far as you could go. I'm not sure if you're willing to sue/press charges against your father, but it's within your legal rights.
