Should I move out?

I’m in a relationship with a black girl who I plan to move in with, but my dad is very racist, he is very protective of me to the point that he gets worried when I stay out all day, to the point where he’s about to take my keys away but I’m 26 years old and I’m borrowing my moms car til I find a new car which I’m working on. He almost killed me the other day he was so mad when I said I was going to library (which he has to ask where I’m going every time I leave) I can’t stay out all night or anything else with out him lossing his temper due to being worried about me. My mom says that If I moved out with her it would destroy him and her and the family witch bassed on his reaction to the past events probably will, but I love her so much I just can’t dump her because my dad disagrees with me dating black people. My girl friend is also getting ancious for me to move in. What should I do?

Having a protective parent is a wonderful thing, but only to an extent. This is your life and he needs to understand that and give you space to make your own decisions. It's terrible that they're basically forcing you to choose between being with the one you love and keeping your family together. I would say to get out of that situation as soon as possible. You're 26 and it's time to live your life the way you want to. You can make your own decisions and learn from your mistakes without him right there telling you what's right and wrong. If you truly love this girl and thing she's the one, go for it! They can either accept it or not, but either way there isn't much you can do about that. It sucks, trust me. My dad told me that he won't go to my wedding because I'm marrying another woman and it's heartbreaking, but in the end, it's my life to live and I'm starting to realize that. I hope everything works out for you, no matter what you decide to do. Just remember that you matter, and to think of what's best for you above everything else.
