    Controlling dad.I don't get him
    Okay I guess its not even okay that I go to my driveway being 17 yrs old ALMOST 18.I don't live with my father I came to visist him here in Mexico for 3 days.tonight is my last night and I wanted to go out with my brothers ex girl who is also my friend.He went pyscho and told the girl that in his house we have to respect him and that Im not going out with bad people, in front of the girl.My brother earlier had told my dad that Ana is a cool girl. But no. Since the girl was being disrespected by my dad I told her lets go to your car. I went and my dad told me to go inside the house.OMG. My dad hates this girl because he was controlling of my brother and that her family sells drugs.I don't know. My most concern is that I know how to behave. Its always been like this with my dad.my brother gets to out all the time were a year apart. What do you think

    In Mexico the culture is different. You said you are only there 3 days so you need to listen to your dad. It is not like this would be some great life long friend he is denying you to see.
    If you don't like his rules don't bother visiting again.
    Mexico is known for its bad crimes he is most likely thinking about where ''OUT'' means to this girl and knows you wouldn't be safe.

    As nohelp4u said he could simply be looking out for your safety. I have been my mexico. My husband grew up there. It is NOT a safe place for a 17 year old to be. I live in Arizona as well, and I know that with mexico being so close, its hard to not want to be there and see everything, but trust me as someone who has been there and seen the 'seedy parts' first hand.

    Trust your father hon. And even if you don't like it, you will be going home tomorrow anyway.

    Good luck

    If there's even a chance her family does sell drugs, that's all the more reason for you not to hang out with her. I think it was cnn that recently did this big thing on mexican drug cartels. The descriptions of what they would do to people were so graphic they couldn't even air all of it. That's just the description, not any actual footage of anything being done. You perceive your dad as being controlling, and I'm sure at times he really could be, but this time sounds more like he truly had your best interests at heart.
