Dear Ashmitha:

It is clear to me that your first priority is and has been for .. a long time to no longer live or spend any time with your father, and to live away from both of your parents.

“He doesn’t really help me move closer to moving out… So I can’t really consider him an option for help with that“-

– So I say he is a waste of your time and energy. Your time and energy should be focused on doing all you can to move out and live independently and away from your parents. In other words, if he isn’t a solution to your main problem, then.. he doesn’t belong in your life.

It is nice that he introduced you to his friends.. but so what.. what practical difference does it make in your life?
