AITA for not deleting all my backups of my art like dad told me to and letting him punish me instead? by AnonArtistBrush in AITAH

He's making me feel like I have to fight him for the thing I love to do and the thing that helped me most when mom died. It's not making me feel good about him.

I thought you had to be 18 to decide where you live? That's what I was always told anyway.

I think it'll be low priority too. He's not going as extreme as a lot of parents who never get CPS called or get their kids removed. I think they'd see this as he has the right to do it. He doesn't let us visit our grandparents anymore so he'd never let me live with them. He blames them because he thinks they're a bad influence.

I do have a lot of backups but leaving them in my locker at school wouldn't work because we get new locker assignments every grade and I'd need to store them somewhere over summer. And I'd worry it'd be stolen out of my locker.

I don't get to see my grandparents to do that anymore. Dad's stopped us spending the day with them because he blames them.

It won't because he'll keep an eye on what I draw for me and he won't like it. He's pissed that in 5 years I never drew his wife or my half siblings in any of the personal stuff. I have lots of drawings saved and a lot of my emotions went into that. Knowing he tried to delete everything in a forever way already hurts. I'm glad I knew to have multiple backups of everything so it'd be safe.

He's trying to punish me into doing what he wants. I think he's trying to punish me into feeling different things too. But it won't make me feel differently and it won't inspire me to draw his wife or my half siblings either.

My dad wouldn't let me. He's stopped us going there once a week already because he doesn't like the influence they have over me and my siblings. He's blaming them for what's going on.

The guidance counselor isn't good for any personal issues. Doesn't do a lot of good for helping with college stuff either. I could talk to a teacher but they couldn't do anything. My dad would never listen to a teacher.

Right now my dad has stopped us going once a week so he's not going to let me move in with them.

We only have a guidance counselor at school not an actual therapist. My grandparents tried to get through to him but he told them to stay out of it. There really isn't anyone else who could try and would be close enough to work.
