“Hi I'm 16 and my dad has been obbsesd with me doing ca which is what both or my parents have done. I choose com but I wanna do something else however he js very dominating not in sense of physicality but rather mentally and while I have learnt to navigate and escape manipulation having a conversation without him manipulating me is very hard he often talks to me about jow i can improve and gives me advixe but i honestly dont get what he says .he has worked for the best companies with os packages but rn he isn't 4eally doing much so it makes it even harder fkr me to trust him . He thinks having a degree will make way but I wanna move to Europe and this is a very risky way of doing that plus the time it will take is insane . Pls help me figure out an alternate career and how to escape manipulation without telling him I eont wanna talk yo u cause he is gonna fund m initial education so I can't really do that”

Just follow your dreams, your dad has lived his teenage, it was his choice, he doesn't have rights to push his dreams on you! If you're not financially independent then go get a scholarship in Europe, but just go to your dream country, bcz you're the main character of your own life! After 5 years, do you wanna be depressed in your CA firm or live your life fullest in Europe? Think again! Yeah you might disappoint your dad and family, but they will eventually understand when you finally start being rebel and live your life. The life mantra i would like to tell you is "be rebel if you really don't wanna disappoint your inner child and yourself"
Take care and have a healthy wealthy life!
