Dear Katie:

You wrote, “We have a vacation planned for Costa Rica with his family at the end of May. Besides the fact that it is paid for and everything… I reaaally want to go to Costa Rica”- You shared earlier, on another thread, that his family consists of a his single, struggling mother who is working a few minimum paying jobs. You shared that your father is a CEO of a fortune 500 company.

I don’t understand: it is his family, his struggling mother paying for a vacation to Costa Rica, for you, him, others?

I don’t understand: if you want so badly to go to Costa Rica, is it possible that your father will treat you to such a vacation? If so, you can go there, have the tan you want for the prom pictures and not spend the vacation with an abusive friend/boyfriend.
