Yes, it is a lot easier asking someone else, and feel free to. But since when has taking the easy way out ever got you where you want to be?

 My parents were the same and it made me stand on my own two feet. If I had a problem they made me sort it for myself so all he is trying to do is turn you into a well rounded adult. I have cousins who at 32 and 34 expect their 'daddy' to bail them out constantly - yes Im a bit jealous as they get everything handed to them on a plate but when I left my first (violent) hubbie at 32 I couldnt have done it without my upbringing. If you are really unsure tell him you appreciate what he is trying to do but sometimes you still need a little guidance. x x

I guess also he's try to develop a feeling of 'self' within you.
Good luck

 i guess putting it simply
As we grow learn and experience life, answers come to us.
With our unique lives we get different views and perspectives of the same answer depending on how it will relate to our indvidual lives.
I guess your dad is saying you need to find out your own answers.
And with time you will, your still young so dont worry
