I don’t understand why they always start to criticize or say something.

I’m 18; finished highschool with good grades and got into a good college. I originally chose a campus that was an hour away so I didn’t have to live at home so that I can be free from my dad. My dad tells me that I can now have a boyfriend but I doubt it and still judge me and tell me to not and complain about how I’m only focusing on relationship than school.

I had to choose a campus closer to home so that I can commute closer because the tuition was expensive and I didn’t want my parents to pay a lot, so I did it out of consideration and threw my opportunity away to be away from my parents.

I don’t go out often. I went out earlier today around 4pm with my friends ( all girls ) to a waterfall that’s about 1h30mins away and my dad knows them. I came back at 9pm, and he literally wakes up to tell me that “I let you out once, and you come back late. I give you a bit of freedom and you do this. You better behave better or else you’re gonna get hit and you’re not going out again.” Literally I’m 18, I’ve never made a bad choice and even if I did it’s not to an extent that you would disown or whatever. I’m literally just hanging out with friends. I don’t see anything bad. I was NOT those type of kids to go party and drink on Friday nights in highschool.

This is why, I didn’t want to stay at home and commute for college because I knew I wouldn’t get freedom; be able to stay out late, party, drink, have boyfriends, sleepover, and etc. I’ll literally be living my highschool days over and over again. Having to get permission to just go out and then not being able to hang out again after awhile; cause then I’d get criticized for going out to much.
