It’s spring break for college for me and I’ve been practicing driving daily. I have my license but my parents don’t trust me enough to let me take the car with me to college just yet. I’ve been yelled at and addressed with offensive terms multiple times by my dad. It’s difficult to learn because there are months-long gaps in between academic breaks in which I get to come home and practice.

I planned to take the car after this week, but it’s looking like it’s not going to work out that way. My next opportunity is in about 1.5 months after the spring semester ends and before the summer one begins. I guess the only solution to this is to simply prove that I can drive well. It makes me frustrated that the problem is me. Every time that I get yelled at, it’s because it’s my fault. Regardless of how hard I try, it feels like I’m never going to be good enough to earn the privilege of driving alone.
