Prom Night

My boyfriend is 22 and I'm 17. It's my senior year and I just had a baby. He doesn't want me to go to my senior prom Bc he doesn't trust me. He thinks I'm going to dance with other boys. He can't go Bc the cut off age at my school is 21. He told me that he didn't go to his why should I go to mine; saying I would be okay. I really want to go its something I will never get back. This isn't the first time he has tried to control my life. He tells me what to wear and what I can't wear, how to wear my hair, and who to hang out with and when I can hang out with them. What should I do just stay home with him or go to my Senior Prom and enjoy myself?

Update#1: He said that he doesn't want me to just Bc he doesn't want me to go and that this an important moment of my life and he's not going to be there. For a while he was okay with it then he woke up the next day and told me no. I had picked out s dress that he would like that only showed my shoulders and arms (he didn't really like it Bc he said that was to much skin and I needed to cover it up). So I broke up with him Bc I realized that I could never be happy with him controlling so much of my life and I didn't want to miss out on my prom just Bc he doesn't want me to go.
