Justfloating, you cannot live your life for your parents. You are doing your best and you have achieved alot. Your father will get over it, sometimes men have a harder time understanding things they cannot seem to fix. He needs to understand that it is not about his ego. His job as a parent is to understand and support you. If he does not do that for you, he has failed you. You have not failed him. Give him a chance to come around, he would be devastated if anything happened to you, Im sure he loves you, give it time.

He will get over it and so will you. Don't allow this to let you feel down. There is no rush, you can try again, you have time and maybe you need to take some time out and work on yourself. Perhaps you can get a letter from your psychiatrist or therapist and maybe the school will work with you. It is just not the end of the world. You will get there, and your father, well, he needs to support you. Have your therapist write him a letter too.

I have to say it is not unusual to take longer than 4 years to get that 4yr degree. It took longer for both my daughter and her boyfriend. So don't feel alone in that. If I remember correctly I think it took almost five years for my daughter to get all her credits and her boyfriend had one course that he really struggled with, I believe it was calculis and my daughter had to help him with it. It was actually pretty funny as my daughter did well where he was weak and he did well where she was weak. And now it has been four years since my daughter graduated and she is working and all that past is not so important anymore. So please give yourself a lot of credit for what is now done and you don't have much more to go. You can do it.
