<p>This is a tough situation for you, and I don’t blame you for being bitter. For one, your dad seems to be changing the rules by lessening the support he originally provided; two, he’s being a jerk to your mom, and that has to be hard for you to see; three, he seems to be favoring his new wife over his child with his first wife. </p>
<p>Go ahead and be bitter – and then learn from it. (Nothing like an ureliable parent to teach kids SELF-reliance!) One of the things you’re getting from him is lessons on how NOT to be as a parent, and what kinds of tendencies to look out for in a potential partner/husband. Be glad you’re already somewhat independent from him thanks to your own hard work & the scholarship it’s earned you. A part time job during the school year (ask on campus if you an get any extra help with your medical expenses) and full time summer employment will tide you over through school. When you get done you will have the enormous satisfaction of having gotten your education pretty much on your own. In the end you will come out stronger, more mature and more independent.</p>
