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.

Can he legally make you stay with him or is it just bluster?

@Pfuzylogic I’ve looked on the internet and it said mentally Ill people are capable as long as they look after themselves and I shown him and he said that’s aload of crap and told me not to believe what I read on the internet so I don’t know

I would default to the Internet.
I was under the impression you had a learning disability.

I would take what he says as a grain of salt. It doesn’t make sense that he wants you with him until 25. I hope he is appropriate.
