Again, I'm going to call bullshit...


This is a bigger issue and it has to do with Opie's ability to stand up to dad and tell him he's fucking up and although the easiest thing to do would be move, Opie would rather come to the arrangement that was outlined in the beginning and make that work and really all its going to take is a little effort on dads part.

You're no longer the child, you are at the very least an equal now and should be treated with that consideration.

If dad is a total douche and is going to choose pussy over family, then there is no question that you need to part ways but that might not be the solution if dad knows how you feel about what is going on right now.

Sit down with your dad, calmly outline whats going on and what you would like to see happen and take it from there, hopefully he can see whats what and you all can go forward from there. If nothing else, it'll remove the possibility of family animosity down the road, you take it to a tenant/tenant level.
