He wouldn't let me get my driving permit or license before I was 18. He tries to micromanage everything.
Luckily I haven't had to tolerate it as much this last decade cuz I've been able to be pretty much independent other than a bit around the S and D.
I started telling my dad when he'd get on one of his rants about what I should do/buy that I would take that into consideration and ending the conversation. It only took a couple times for him to come to the realization that he couldn't actually dictate things to me lol.
It definitely strains our relationship though. I'm much much closer to my mother.
Course, I also wonder how she's put up with him for over 35 years!
