Dad won’t let me move out ?

I’m 18 and my dad is very controlling and won’t let me move out until I’m at least 25. I have a learning disability but it’s like border line not really the serious case. I have depression anxiety but I’ve improved over the past 2 years and I no longer receive counciling or take medication for it. I know how to prepare my own food and stuff and I plan on getting a job soon , I’m capable of basic self care and I understand how to fill in forms and write letters by myself. I have my own bank account and I’m capable of traveling by myself to places that are local or in my area but not very far away places as I have extreme anxiety. I don’t get along at all with my dad and we argue literally every day or atleast 4 times a week which is ridiculous as we are meant to get along and help each other but we don’t. I can be mature and I don’t cause problems with other people unless they start on me first. I even help my dad fill in his forms and I write him emails and letters as he’s not very academic. I look after my room and tidy it regular and vacuum it when needed , I wash all my own pots and I clean up after myself , I buy my own clothes and basical essentials but my dad buys me food. I pay for my rabbit and his food too and I clean him out and feed him regularly. I don’t rely on my dad for much only mainly if I need advice on my future. I try to be as independent as possible as I hate relying on my dad for things.

Well once you’re 18, he legally can not stop you. You don’t need his permission. You’re going to just have to do it if he likes it our not. He’ll get over it.
