My dad is driving me INSANE!!! He is being so ridiculous it isn't even funny. Normally I can roll my eyes at his ridiculousness and move on, but.. AAAAARRRRHHHHH!!!

Ok, so a bit of background info for those of you questioningly raising eyebrows and demanding to know what the heck I'm talking about.

Basically, 6 years ago my parents got divorced and it was a horribly ugly divorce at that. Anyway, veeeeery long story made short, my dad and I do NOT have a good relationship, or really any relationship with each other at all for that matter.

So, up until this point, all of my university expenses have been paid for entirely by scholarships. However, this year, the U of C (which is very stingy when it comes to doling out scholarships to students going into 2nd year) there isn't enough scholarship money to pay for everything. This means that my dad is actually going to have to chip in and pay for half of it, my mum paying for the other half.

Of course, whenever it comes to paying for anything for me, he doesn't want to do it. He has all these conspiracy theories about how my mum is stealing all the money he sends over and using it for herself. He also seems to think that she is brainwashing my sister and myself into hating him AND that she is monitoring our e mails and deleting any e mails from him. Which of course is ridiculous. He just hasn't been sending any. Or trying to communicate with my sister or myself in any way shape or form at all. He just doens't want to actually admit that something might be his own fault.

Anyway, getting a little off topic here. So anyway, he's been asking for all this information from me before he'll agree to pay for half my tuition (which he is actually required by law through the whole divorce agreement to do anyway). It's pretty much like I'm trying to apply for a scholarship from him. He wants how much my tuition is, what classes I'm taking, how much money I make, how many scholarships I've gotten, how much my books cost, all of my expenses, everything! He also seems to think that just because I got a scholarship from the airport (which he works at) this should be considered as money that he personally has paid towards my tuition.

So I sent all of that to him. Fine. That I can do. But now he's questioning me on everything. Saying that I shouldn't need to drive a car to school, even though city buses do NOT come anywhere near my house (the closest one is a 40 minute walk away). Saying that if I lived with him (he lives in the city) I wouldn't have to drive my car. Except that by living with him, we would constantly be getting noise complaints from the neighbours due to all the yelling that would transpire between us. The reason I don't live with him now is because he has a horrible temper and seems to think that all his problems are my fault, which he informed me of regularly when I did still live with him some of the time. (Including the fact that he had gotten a new girlfriend that he had never told me about. He seemed to think that I should have been able to guess and that I should have been ok with waking up at 4 in the morning to her sex moans across the hallway. THEN he blamed ME for her not wanting to see him anymore when I walked over to his door and told her to shut up. This particular incident happened when I was about 14 or 15.)

Siiiiiiigh. I could go on, but that would mostly be pointless and more than a little mentally exhausting, so I will leave you all here.
