I am confused by your use of capitals. What country are you in?

I realize your father doesn't trust you, but you are in a relationship behind his back.

You tell him why you aren't coming home in the same words you used here.

I trust you are self supporting and able to move out on your own?

You father has been paying all your tuition plus room and board?

What does this mean ? -- "He Treats Me Like IAm Five. He Doesn't Let Me Do Anythin"

Has your counselor talked with your father to get his side of the story?
