I'm afraid I want to leave my band (for a while)

So I'm in a Band and next week (the 12th of June) is our Release Party for our upcoming EP.

The thing is I don't really feel connected to our music and it seems like our lead singer/guitarist is calling all the shots. To be fair, he is a bit older than me but nonetheless, I still think I have a say in this.

For example, he wants to play a song that he likes, but I myself don't really like it, because it's boring to play.

And as we were recording our stuff, it seemed like he told me what to play and I didn't really get to change it.

Now I want to leave the Band temporarily until the end of summer.

This is also due to some mental struggles and stress I have had lately, and important people in my life telling me I should take a break.

I'm still in school and I have some exams coming up.

But my dad's also in the band and I'm afraid I might disappoint him..

What should I do??
