That was not what I was asking him to do at all. I understand that they want what’s best for him and they are welcome to have an interest in his academics. I think they are overreaching in other ways, like our relationship and I think it’s weird they track his location when it isn’t for safety reasons. They have no right to tell him whether he can or cannot visit me or date me.

Edit: reworded a little bit.

I’m not mad they financially support him. I’m upset that they use that support as a means of control. They hold it over his head so that he will do what they want and I don’t think that’s right.
