hey silver...i really feel for you b/c i have done through similiar stuff with my family...i am at law school and until recently was at what many ppl think to me the most pretigious law school in the country. i enjoyed my studies there and everything but my home life was just getting me too me and i was frightened about what i might do to myself if i stayed. so i transferred unis and basically went about as far away as i could get without needing a passport and visa! my father has refused to acknowledge my depression and probs i have had with eating disorders ( the latteri s in the past, the former i am still dealing with) and thought i was making it all up when i told him about my depression. he also said i was throwing it all away etc. but i've been better since i moved and being away from my home environment really helped. u cld try looking into moving out, maybe into a flatting or boarding situation as they are generally a lot cheaper. u r 21, ur dad CANNOT tell u what to do or where to live,etc...pm me if u wanna talk more about it
