sweetness, do you have an aunt or older female relative that you can talk to about this, so she can talk to your dad about starting to loosen up with you? all his love,care, and protectiveness cannot prevent you from growing up and away into a healthy adulthood. at some point, and soon, you've got to start making your own decisions, and there will be mistakes, but you need to make those mistakes, supported, so you can learn from them with a safety net under you. trev (oggyflute) is right, don't burn your bridges, be calm, it'll be better for the longer run. good luck
