some parents just don't know when to cut the cord. They're frightened that you might make mistakes in your life and they won't be around to help you solve them. That's part of growing up I'm afraid. At nineteen your old enough to find your own way in the world. My guess is that he knows what kind of world is out there, and he thinks that once he lets go he's lost you. You don't speak about your mother, does this mean that its just you and him in the house. Maybe he doesn't want to be left alone, and he's frightened what the future holds for him. Maybe he's just a tat jealous that you've got youth on your side and he's staring middle age in the face and is angry at what he sees. Have you thought about sharing an apartment? There must be scores of like minded guys or gals who are looking to share in your neighbourhood. It might be a problem canoodling with the girlfriend, but thats all part of choosing the right roomies, and making sure they're all out on the right night... About your car. If the car is fully paid for, then its yours, not his. Or is he the guarantor for your insurance? If you want to change it, just find a company that will insure you. At nineteen, it won't be cheap...Here in the UK car insurance is pretty expensive until you get to around your late twenties, even if you've got a little compact that doesn't go very fast. Course if its a porche or lamborghini you need to be into very old age before they'd consider reducing your premiums.

It sounds like you've thought this through. Your financial situation seems OK, and as long as you're determined to succeed, you can. The car is a problem, though. Regardless of where the money came from, if it is in your dad's name, then legally it is his. He can sign it over to you at the registration office, but based on your description of him, I don't know that he would. You can't just drive off in it, because he can report it stolen and have you brought back home or arrested by the police. (I've seen this happen.)
If you are planning to move out and get a place with your girlfriend, make sure you two are serious. If you can see yourself marrying this girl, then it will be a great experience. If not, then both of you will be miserable. Trust me on this one.
Sorry for not having a definite answer, but it is a choice that you need to make. Like I said, you've thought this thing out well, and that alone shows maturity. The fact that your parents are so overbearing is ridiculous, considering you are old enough to buy cigarettes, vote, and go to war. Still, though, if you can work this thing out, that's your best option. When I was your age, my parents only asked that I call if I was planning to come back late or stay somewhere else. Try reasoning with him again, and let him know how you feel. He was 19 once, too.
One final thought...my dad was incredibly overbearing at times, but usually came through for me in the end. He was never diagnosed as such, but I'm certain he was bipolar due to his outrageous mood swings. I lost him to cancer 5 years ago, and I would give almost anything to hear him cuss me out one more time. It might feel like hell now, but perspective is everything.

Hello my friend i had a similar story but quite a bit different. I am the child of a single mother but never the less she was as strict as two parents. I love my mother and we are on GREAT terms now im leaving for boot camp here in 7 days and how no bad feelings at all and she loves me just the same. any who my mom used to ***** and ***** and ground me for smoking pot and other little things so i moved out of her house when i was 15 i had a car of my own and had a job. i supported my habits and my self and it was great i moved back in a couple months later. then realized i couldn't live with being grounded so i moved out again when i was 16 and sucsessfully moved 60 miles away and lived there for a little more than a year. and again i moved back but she never Grounded me ever again. basicly what im trying to say is if you have the right set of mind a child can do it so i think you can do it. it'll be rough and you may not always have nice things but atleast you will be independent and that is more than any one can ask for. and if your wondering i am almost 19 now and have no regrets.

It sounds like your father has done a good job raising you and that you do respect him for that. You have to remember that as long as you live under his roof you need to go by his rules. It is his house. If you can not live by those rules than it might be time for you to move out. Living with your girl friend may not be the best thing to do until you get married. Talk to your father about the title to the car. It does not sound to me that he is the kind of person that would keep the car from you just because it is in your name. I am sure that he dreads the day that you do leave him. Good luck to both of you.

If you paid for your car then why is it under his name? Yes you should
move out. You may need to talk with a lawyer concerning your car.
If you can't afford a lawyer then contact Legal Aid through the Human
Resource department. You can find their number in the blue pages
of your phone book. Good luck. You can always take some classes
on line. Just apply for some Pell Grants to pay for the courses. That
way you can work full time and still get an education

yeah move out. And if he is such a dick that he wont let you keep the car dont talk to him anymore. Hell come around eventually and realize ur ur own person . You sound kinda dependant though. Are you sure his tight controls arent atleast partly self inflicted? If you need to be told what to do you better be sure your ready to be your own person , or your just gonna end up being your gfs puppet instead of your dads.

yea im in the same situation and all you can do is plaster on a fake smile until you have enough money to move out. just smile and nod and agree with them and find some way to vent your anger later, and move out as soon as possible. im not sure how to get the title switched to your name...you might need to ask the place where you bought it about that....or you could ask a police officer. i have before, explain the situation and ask what are the legal procedures you would need to take. i know it will be harder when you move out, but you will be happier. and if you arent gonna be happy in life then there is no point in living it. hang in there and i wish you the best of luck.

How old are you? You let them ground you & then done it?????? Can you drive? Have you got your own car? If you want to be treated like an adult then act like an adult if you go to the mall instead of a movie so what that is called freedom. If you are paying for the college then they have no say so what so ever on your grades. Just call them & let them know when you change your plans if they don't like it then hang up. You also need to stand up for yourself as hard as it will be the first time you really need to do it for you, it will make since to you when you have done it.
