Mostly self-explanatory, but if additional context is needed:
My dad came in my bedroom last night. He said the F-word at me and yelled at me over having the air conditioner turned on too early, and I responded that it was too hot. That eventually turned into me daring him to disown me like what he attempted to do three months ago, and him hoping that I be fired immediately from my first job. He also wants to call me “Mr. Sorry” (like has he read too much Mr. Men books?) because in his opinion, I apologize all the time and never make up for it, and I refuse to change. I feel like everything is completely my own fault, and I am starting to turn into a clone of my dad’s worst behavior. He will be right if he sees me homeless on the streets for the rest of my life.
I then went to my mom, whose advice is that I should keep the door locked so that he won’t go in next time.
UPDATE: I am over 18 and I am still living with my parents and have no financial responsibility for paying utility bills.
Lots of stuff here, assuming you are a minor because if not you should move out immediately.
First about the AC, I would recommend you ask to turn it on when the temperature is at a certain level in your room, say 80 or whatever your parents can agree to which is a more reasonable way to control it.
Next, I think daring your father to disown you sounds like a bad idea, I would not recommend you to escalate the situation since it sounds like a very poor relationship. If your mom can’t help, maybe you have grandparents that can help you? Good luck, try to hang in there.
My grandparents are dead, and temperatures in my country are measured in Celsius, not Fahrenheit.
Don’t worry about the units of measurement - they’re suggesting for you to find an appropriate temperature, in whatever you measure it in, that you and your father agree upon as a max temp for your room, so you can use the AC when it’s above that temp. It makes more sense than a time of day
Solid help to the situation bud
This hits home. Person offering sound suggestions and the person asking for the opinion finds some way to correct them on a technicality. This is how you get people to say YTA.
