It doesn't matter if "they see you as the bad guy" what matters is you being happier and healthier.
I have went though my early twenties feeling at times like "the bad daughter" but every time my sisters mention our mom in life nothing has changed with her abusive ways.
There isn't any good or bad child with it. It's what I know I can cope with well and what I can't do very well.
One sister is easier effected by my mom than the other.. Doesn't make one stronger than the other.

And there were a lot of people that I know in real life, in their 50s and 60s that voted for Obama. One could blame corporations off shoring employment for the unemployment in America .. But where does it get one?

Kudos to you for having your own home with a room mate. Part time jobs and trying or thinking about further education.

(In agreement with limiting info too.. Your dad sounds stubborn with the way that it is... So why give him ammo?)

Best wishes your way
