It’s hard for a parent to accept that their child no longer really wants to spend time with them voluntarily.
Dad's actively pushing LW away from him with his bigoted remarks, Prudie. Big difference. If Dad is mourning the thought that LW is "growing away" from him now that LW's in university, he's doing the absolute worst thing by doubling down on such garbage.
I wonder if it would help LW any to talk to his mom/step-mom about Dad's escalating bigoted remarks towards LW, or does she share similar beliefs to Dad. (Or would it only escalate things further.) LW may need to spend increasing amounts of time away from the house, studying and/or with friends, until they can move out on their own.
