Hi Silver... what a situation to be in! Can you, yourself, read back over your intended email and edit it? Try and take out anything YOU wouldn't want as a response... and reword other items that you want to say but really don't want to rile him over.

This includes (going over) the paragraph in bold. Some of that is best discussed eye to eye, as it doesn't really address HIS problem right now, does it? I agree with others that only you know your father.. but if the communication gap has reached this point, maybe past responses haven't worked as well as you would have liked?

Information is good, and he might really want it. If you add comments like you have, he might think you are just passifying him ( ) Give him a plan for completing your degree only, if you can, and ignore the money issue altogether...unless he has told you YOU have to finish paying for your own education (or that will change soon.) I don't recall what year you are in, but if you haven't selected a major yet and you are passed the 2nd year, then he has reason to be concerned, if not... oh well.

Take care. Rethink what you are saying, save some of it for later.. you might have to be the adult here, you know? (((hugs)))
