I'm currently in my third year. I don't see my dad as much as a I used to and I think our relationship has improved because of this. The truth is that my Dad's attitude and controlling personality are mainly based around money, and now that I am paying for everything (as of this year) we really have nothing to fight for. I know that my Dad wants the best for me, but his discussion of money always makes him crazy. I love him even though I hate the way he acts sometimes. No one is perfect, but I'm so happy that this post has helped so many other people to vent their frustrations and find camaraderie with others through the internet. Thanks for asking.

I would have chosen the big loans, which I did, and graduated and paid off my loans. I am now 42 and am still dealing with my controlling dad who wanted me to run his company. This is the 3rd time I have gone to work for him, and he still has not changed. He is 79 years old, and still thinks I am almost worthless, regardless of my success rate outside of this company. Just love him because he is your dad, and tolerate his existence and strive not to be like him. What did you end up doing?

Take out a loan and find a cheaper school if need be. Don't take a penny, as it will only be used against you and lead to endless frustration. When I left home, it was the smartest thing I ever did. Live, Work, Learn, Have fun, Then work some more, and keep good records so you dont inadvertantly become like your father in the future. Get out of the house and live on your own.

Yahoo is wayyy to right leaning. They don't even seem to try to cover it up. They always run stories criticizing the health care plan, but nothing close to promoting it. I know right?

Too bad I have been using my yahoo e-mail account for so many years but I no longer like their news portal. I will look for alternatives or work arounds to other portals. You know I agree!

He is always right about everything and everyone else is always wrong. He belittles everyone and constantly criticises and deamens his children and our mum. No one can reason with him. Whenever we try to talk to him about how things are he manages to make himself seem right. He has educated all of us children but like someone else said in one of their posts has no interest in what the education has taught us or how it not shapes our lives. I think it all boils down to control. As the children turn into adults they fail to realise they can no longer control. He also manages to make himself seem like a victim to other other people and is friendly and happy with other people. It's as if though he hates his children who he should love the most. Unless people are in the same situation they fail to realise how this type of father makes life into hell. My dad is just the same as all of yours.

My father doesn't respect me for who I am and expects so much from me that it's tearing me apart on the inside. He controls me every day to the very second. He tells me who my friends should be, what he believes I should be doing, everything I do is a failure to him. I have no options left, I can only stay and take his abuse until I graduate from college. Afterward my plan is simple. To move away, move away and never come back.

I just saw MBV last night in Seattle, and the experienced matched yours almost exactly. I was a little upset at the sampled melody lines, as I was really hoping to see how the hell Sheilds makes some of those noises... But other than that... Fierce. Brutal. Awesome. Great recap.
