Angelina
Angelina if I told my father that (sic - it was unpleasant), he would say: and???
Its probably not my place to offer advice here. Clearly our culture and situations are vastly different. For instance my father was absent for nearly all of my childhood and my mother couldn't have cared two pins abut any aspect of my life. But I am who I am, and in response to a father saying "and???" in such circumstances, I would probably reply something like"
" ... and if you love me, beyond my safety and virtue, you would also care about my comfort and happiness. Can we not come to a compromise based on your love for me and my respect for you?"
I mean no disrespect to you Angelina or your situation.
