I'm 25 and I'm living with my Dad because of my surgery a couple years ago. I can only imagine what my Dad goes through when he sees me have a TC. I'll be living with him for a while longer. Like 5ish years. Anyway I've asked numerous people and probably the forum already but any idea how to ease his mind and any ideas how to lower his expectations from being a parent. What I mean by that is how to change his expectations in our relationship. Because he's always been the father, he sees himself as having higher authority. As in he has more power than me. Yet he calls us roommates because of my age and I was considering moving recently, because I can't live under my Dad for the rest of my life or his life, I love the man I really do, but I feel like a teenager. Or even 5 more years. I'm too old. I would have moved out and I would have a long time job if it wasn't for my epilepsy. Any ideas how to help ease his expectations in our relationship and especially when I have a TC?
