I just had a huge argument with my dad, many of you may know of my intentions to move to Scandanavia, it was originally Finland but now it might not be but that's not important. Basically he was having a go at me because of my intentions, he said that it wouldn't work out and that I shouldn't even bother trying. That upset me since he has no idea how things will turn out, and he's been like that for everything I've voiced as an ambition, which is probably why I have very little self esteem.
When I asked him why he was being like this, he simply said that he didn't want me to move out of the UK because he wouldn't see me as often. My response was that can he blame me after the way he shoots down every ambition I get, and that I've lived in the same house as him for nearly 19 years, and that it was time to move on and live my own life, which he didn't like since technically he can't stop me. I don't by any stretch of the imagination hate my dad, I love him, I just wish he wouldn't say things like "it won't work out in Finland, you won't be able to afford things" etc
I dunno what's wrong with him, he seems to be scared of me leaving or something. But everyone's gotta leave home at some point, and even if he is, why does he insist on saying upsetting things to try and make me stay? Surely a "Dani, we'd miss you too much if you left the UK" would suffice instead of a "It'll be a waste of time, don't go because it won't work out and you know it" but I don't know it, and neither does he. I just want to take that chance, because in my eyes, it's a chance worth taking.
What does everyone else reckon? I guess it's not very important but I just wanted to rant it off my chest.
