Hi yall, I am a little upset that Dad was about to call the cops on me so he could have me kicked out and made homeless because I was about to have a extra Dr Pepper. I just think I should be able to control my own diet as a man. I wish I could get a good job so I did not have to live in my own personal heck of a homelife with my mom and dad. Also my dad threatens to charge me 5 dollars if I ask him a question more than once. Extortion is illegal and also its a sin in the Bible and he is a Christian so I dont think he should threaten to extort me. I cant call the cops on him because then I would just be homeless again for the 21st time. I think I may just go no contact with my family if they kick me out for any length of time that requires me to sleep under a bridge or overpass.

Things like that are usual and par for the course with my dad. He once made me homeless for having a Dr Pepper. Also he has yelled at me all the time since I was a little kid.

Nah its usual. His dad is always threatening him and controlling every aspect of his life.
It's worrying what triggers his dad off. This time it's Dr Pepper it seems. I think OP should make voice recordings if the goings on at home and leave them with a lawyer for safe keeping as and when incidents occur. It'll give him future leverage over his dad.
If it was my dad, I would like to say what I would have done to him by now, but the Haven isn't the ideal place.

All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi...
I'm sorry you gotta deal with this; your dad needs to grow up because he regularly behaves like a child who shouldn't be trusted with the responsibilities he has, based on how he handles them.

I think he might have an issue with distinguishing between the big stuff and the small stuff
