[14f] I have no freedom, literally.

Can I ask where you are? Because there will be different laws and resources depending on where you are. But this is not OK-- I mean, you know that. Is your dad abusive physically? Or just emotionally?

There are two ways to do this. You can go a legal route-- you should have rights, wherever you are. This is so not OK that if you were in the US, you would be justified in calling Child protection services, though I'm not sure what the equivalent would be where you are. But this will blow up your family. It might be worth it! You might all be better off afterwards. But it will be a huge, huge thing and your relationships may never recover

Or, you can sneak. You can just decide that you're going to do everything you can to live the life you wanna live for the next 4 years until you can get out. There are all sorts of things you could do to get around his rules, if you do it smart and sly. But there are big consequences that are possible there too, I don't want to say otherwise. But it's an option.

I also had controlling parents, though not this bad. I'm happy to talk more if you want.
