Patronising father

So I'm nearly at the end of first year of sixth form and at the start my father said he didn't have a good feeling about the sixth form and that it was too far (45 mins away on the tube ) but he still let me go there because I liked it
And now whenever I'm stressed about work or have a little cry he's like don't come to me now told you not to go there but u thought I was just a stupid nob . Its really annoying me now and affecting my mental health . What should I do? It's all the time even when someone asks him where does your daughter he always says very far and now she regrets should have listened to me ????

Do you have a mum in the picture who can have a word with him? Are you happy at your sixth form? Is there any pastoral care there that you can confide in? Not necessarily about your dad but the stresses you have with your course. I think you need someone you can talk to other than your dad who will lend a sympathetic ear. You can’t change him. And it’s too bad he hasn’t respected that even if you decided to go to a particular college that doesn’t mean you won’t have some struggles and need support. An aunt? Family friend? Hang in there you will be better off in the long run with A levels.

@pipandmum my mom is submissive towards him so wouldn't really say anything against him and he is just really affecting me everyone has struggles with their a levels . My college is good it's just I'm struggling with biology and he's just keeps saying I chose the college . And not really the pastoral team are awful and my whole family are sly they'll give me advice but then go back and tell my father everything
