Hi.
I'm a senior in high school and I turn eighteen in January. I want to go to college next fall. My dad said I'll go to college when he decides and in the meantime, he will probably want me to study at home to earn a medical coding license. Although I do not want to be a medical coder, I would not mind doing this so much except for the fact that it means I'll basically be at home all day.
He does not allows anyone in the family besides himself to drive , even my mom. Also, the only time we really ever go anywhere is when we go to the grocery store. I do not want to be stuck at home for two years, which is probably how long it will take me to finish my studies in medical coding.
My 19 year old sister is currently doing this and I do not want to take the same path. She is inside the house all day and cannot he even go for a walk around the neighborhood because my dad doesn't like her to go anywhere alone.
My dad doesn't realize how his overprotectiveness is fustrating us. The no driving rule is permanent for all the females in my family. He said that he may let my sixteen year old brother drive, but only when he decides.
I'm currently working on scholarships and trying to get into a university without him knowing. But what do you guys think? Should I just wait until he says I can go and helps me financially or try to do it on my own?
