I was really confused because even though I’m 22 my parents get my credit card statements, my paychecks; they handle my $$.

I woudl go to a hotel but my dad’s going to cancel my credit card and phone for sure if I do that. My car is under their name too so I can’t even take that. .

I went through this when I was 22 when I moved out. You’re not alone. BTW, moving into a hotel is dumb.

I’m very confused by your above statements. You’re in the U.S. right? How does your dad get your paychecks UNLESS you yourself hand it to him? Or you have it deposited into his account?

And what is preventing you from walking into a bank, and getting your own checking account? What is preventing you from getting your own credit card? Most credit cards these days offere a “paperless statement” option so you can do everything online (ie. they will not mail you any paper statements to your house). Since you have a job, why can’t you get your own phone?

So what will happen if you did not give your paycheck to your dad? Is he going to beat you? Kick you out of the house?
