For most of my life, I have supported myself. My parents were never wealthy, so I did a lot of work even as a teenager. I had a scholarship throughout school and I was on a scholarship in university. I worked throughout my time in university. My father refused to let me move overseas when I was offered a place in a foreign university. I do not "owe" him for anything. I have basically supported myself for almost my entire life.
A few months ago, I was forced to quit my previous job due to personal reasons. Prior to this, my father was already very controlling. I had to beg and beg for him to let me take this job. I do not have a driver's license, I am not allowed to drive. He drove me to work and fetched me. I resorted to doing remote work and it is more than enough to support myself. He does not allow me to date. My previous partner broke off our relationship because I could not move-in with him and he threatened to call the cops on my father.
I am not allowed to travel. I am not allowed to move out. I am no longer allowed to even apply for a new job.
This behaviour is starting to scare me and I don't know what to do. I have more than enough funds to leave, but my father has previously threatened to starve himself if I move out (happened when I planned to move in with my ex). He has threatened death in a "light" tone, as my mother says. This is not normal, I know it isn't.
I don't know if this is the right subreddit, please let me know if it isn't. I need advice on what I can do to leave this place.
tl;dr I want to be independent from my controlling father.
