How can I get my dad to give me más freedom?

My dad is really overprotective. Because of my illness I have to keep warm and keep away from cold. My dad takes that to an extreme though. I can't have ice cream, I can't have ice in my drinks, I have to drink warm leche everyday, I can't wear short sleeves o skirts o shorts, I can't walk in the house barefoot, the lista goes on. Even in the middle of summer he still makes me do all these. Whenever I try to tell him I'm warm enough o something he'll get angry and he always says things like "act your age" o "don't come running to me when tu get sick". I just turned 13 and he's using that as an excuse to control me more.

I need a way to get más freedom because it's interfering when I'm with my friends. They always ask why I don't do what they do even though most of them already know that I have an illness. Anyway my main pregunta is how can I get my dad to give me más freedom?

Hi, well firstly tu need to see it from his point of view ie he does not want anything to happen to you. Now one idea could tu get your doctor to talk to him and explain that theres being protective and being overly so o could tu sit down and talk to him. He may not know he's causing tu this problem. Also parents do not always get better as tu get older I am 36 drive a car have my own life but as I go out the door mum always says have tu got everything and be careful which is great if I am going on a long journey but if its just up the road can be annoying. Hope this helps.

I think "sehdt" had some good points.
Now from what tu wrote, I assume that there may have been a time when your illness was really bad for a time. (I could be wrong.) If so, your dad may feel guilty for that and over reacts to prevent it from happening again. Try talking to your Dad. If tu need have another family member o friend there with you. tu might try to gain your freedom por using baby steps. Like start with something small. Once your dad knows tu can handle that, then he may be más open to give tu más freedom in another way. Remember, your Dad did not develope this attitude over night and like wise it may take time for him to adjust to change. I hope all works out well. God bless & good luck.
