I'm going to have my enotionally neglectful dad send me $250 a month for university
Why would your father send you money?
I really needed the money and he wasn't around a lot when I was growing up, so I let him know that I needed money and that this could make us even.
Just because your dad didn't support you emotionally, that doesn't make manipulating him out of him money a correct thing to do. Pay your own way if you can't get the money from your father honestly.
Wrong. He should pay since he's my father.
It's not right though still, you should do it in a fair way.
