My parents control when I can use the car that I own
Recently, I [26F] bought a car with the expectation of driving it to work. This was a key decision in my purchase because it would reduce my daily commute by more than 2 hours. I am paying for all insurance and car services. I have had my driving license for a while but I did have 1 year where I didn't drive after a minor accident in an old family car that my brother now drives.
My dad said he wanted to be in the car while I was driving. I wasn't feeling very confident and thought it was a good idea. So I would drive to work and then he would drive the car back home etc etc. The problem is that he has been holding on to my car keys which he keeps in their room. I didn't mind it at first because I assumed it was just a habit from keeping the car keys but now I have to ask for the keys every time I want to drive the car. It annoys me even more when I found out they were driving my car and scratched the front bumper.
They tell me I need to be responsible but honestly I don't even know what that means for them anymore. I would like to be responsible for myself and not have to ask permission to drive a car that I paid for.
