I hate making this post…but I want to touch back on what another person posted: Make peace with your Dad. Tell him everything he wants to hear. Promise to date only people he finds acceptable. Kiss his butt. Tell him you’ll only work jobs he approves of. Sell your soul to the devil…but STAY IN SCHOOL. I get that what I’m telling you to do here sounds horrific in every way, but just consider it the best paid amateur acting job ever. It’s only four years…and you’ll be off your parent’s FAFSA and on your own. You’re in the home stretch. Do not let a battle of wills keep you from getting your degree. Fake it, hide it, do horrible unnatural things like coming home and living there for the summer if that’s what it takes…but don’t let this chance at an absolutely terrific education pass you by. Your friends and partners…will GET it…why you have to do this unspeakable thing. And they’ll get it that it’s in your best interest for your future to fake it until you graduate. You have worked too hard. Do not let him punish you this way. Talk to your mom…kiss her butt first and get her sympathy. Have her talk to your dad. Tell them everything they WANT to hear. Don’t go off script. Act your way through the next three years and rekindle your fight at the end if you need to…but for now…betray every inner truth and let him play his last sick cards. More than anything else in your life right now…getting this degree is the sum of your efforts…it is the key to your future. Do NOT let him steal that from you.
