Is my dad over-controlling or am i overreacting?
Just a warning that this will probably be pretty long, but I just need some advice.
So I'm 19 years old going on 20 in a little over a month. I just graduated from high school last May because I was put into Kindergarten a year late. I'm not currently in college and I'm still living at home. My parents are divorced and my mom moved out so I live with my dad, and lately he's been acting kind of controlling and I don't know if I'm overreacting or not.
1. I just got my license in December and he was pretty reluctant to teach me how to drive (my mom basically had to do it all), and was even more reluctant about getting me my permit.
2. I had a community college picked out that's about 15-20 minutes away from where I live. I'd have to cross a busy bridge to get there though and so my dad (my mom too, actually) talked me out of going just because they didn't want me to cross a bridge. I ended up not caring about this because I wasn't so sure about the major I wanted, but still. It should've been my choice, and it's not like I wanted to move across the country.
3. He decided to buy me my first car for a graduation present since he bought my brother's first car. I don't think he listed me on the insurance plan or the title or anything, so he basically has control over the car which comes into play in my next point.
4. He wouldn't allow me to get a job during high school because he wanted me to focus on my grades. I've been job hunting for awhile and lately it hasn't been going the best, and a few days ago a pizza place posted that they were hiring. I applied for the cashier/cook position but I thought it would nice to apply for delivery driver also so I'd have a better chance of getting hired.
I asked him if it would be okay and he basically cut me off and said "no! it's too much stop-and-go, they tie the thing to the top of the car, and you'd have to deal with lots of different people" Driving anywhere is stop-and-go and I'd have to deal with lots of different people no matter what job I get. He didn't say anything about how the car is technically his (I'm pretty sure it's completely in his name, but at the same time it MIGHT not be), so I don't think that's the reason.
I tried to calmly reason with him but he just walked off and ignored me and said "just let go of job hunting for awhile, it's not that important." But it really is because all I do is sit at home all day every day and it's starting to make me depressed.
I REALLY need this job though, but I don't want to act like a rebellious teenager and go behind his back. Other places I've applied at wouldn't give me a chance and I'm hoping this place will since I applied early, and I love driving (and pizza) so I thought it would be perfect. Is he being overbearing, and should I just go for it anyway? I don't know what to do :/
