**Update: I texted him last night when I had a chance to calm down and he responded saying he just wanted to be sure I was prepared for anything and to be careful. I think it helped a little bit, but I don’t know if it’ll change anything**<br><br>My dad is a great guy and he knows how to have a conversation with me, but I feel like he treats me like I’m 10 years old still. He always wants to know every little thing about what I’m doing. He always wants to know where I am, who I’m with, and when I’m leaving / getting home. I don’t know why, but it just doesn’t sit right with me and I feel like he doesn’t think I can handle myself in a situation. When I got my license, I would get home at 11 pm and he’d be like “Did you check your mirrors? Was your phone charged” just a bunch of questions like that. It would also make him angry when I wouldn’t text him back right away. I’m 24 and currently living in a different state than him. I went to see him for a weekend and I told him I was going to the grocery store. I said I’d text him when I’m leaving the store and heading back to his house. I”m browsing the aisles for about 30 minutes and then I sit down in my car for a few minutes before leaving. When I text him that I’m on my way back, he responds with “Left the store 30 minutes ago. You okay” and I’m like yep I sit in my car for a bit after I leave the store. It’s no big deal. He’s just concerned for my safety, I know that, but the questions get to me and I just don’t know how to bring it up to him.
