So my father does not think I am mature enough because of my ADHD. He is a pilot, and I am home during the weekends from after-school Fridays to Tuesdays when he works. I can't drive or have a phone. He thinks I am not mature enough. I am 17 years old. I get to school on time and have never been late once in high school and never got detention either. I get straight b's as my grades, so they're not too bad. Yes, I am trying to improve my grades. He thinks because I am not emotionally mature. Yes, I have emotions, so does the rest of the world too. I am just more emotional than my father, so he thinks I am not emotionally mature. I am just a little bit emphatic towards people, but he is just cold to people. So how could I show my father I am mature so he lets me have a life? I want to get a job, but he says I am not ready for that. He is just scared I will make money and move out and live on my own. I just want to be my own person and not rely on him. I have a very independent personality, and he tries to keep my independence in every way he can. How can I get out of this situation because it feels like it's suffocating me mentally.
