I hate being dependent on my dad
I (20f) am a full time uni student 5 days a week usually from 7am to 3 or 4 pm. I got into the art department on a full ride sponsorship. I've lived with just my dad the majority of my life and he is in charge of money. I can't drive and I don't even have my learners as my father would have to be the one to pay and take me yet he's been putting it off since I was 16.
He's forbidden me from working any sort of part time, full time or odd jobs such as babysitting, waitressing ect as it would distract me from my art studies. He's very big on supporting my art but to the point he's made it into something I hate.
Such as me being a big artist on Facebook and then posting personal stuff of mine on their such as my face, drama in my life and even how I sobbed over my dogs death which I don't want 10 000+ people seeing or knowing.
I only get money on my birthday or Christmas and that would be R1000. If I'd wanted to get something like a drink from the shop I'd have to always ask him and rely on him for basic things that people should be able to get themselves.
Now I've recently started to crotchet things in hopes of making pocket change and he's voiced how he wishes I would rather make another artwork to put on my Facebook rather than just focusing on crotcheting.
I just want to be able to get myself things. I want to be independent so badly but it's hard as I don't have many friends and the ones I do live far away from me and we hardly talk. I can't drive and rely on my father to go anywhere and if he doesn't like where I want to go he'll simply just not take me there. I don't have any money and can't even afford an Uber if I wanted to take one.
This is mostly a rant for myself to get my thoughts in order.
