My Dad is asking to see my bank accounts and transactions every week
I’m a 22M. I’m currently in college and working a part time job. For the past year or maybe even couple months my dad’s been constantly asking to see my bank account because he believes I have a bad spending habit which is not the case I just happen work a job that pays minimum wage and have bills that take up the majority of my paychecks. I try to pay certain bills every other paycheck so I have little bit of money left for my living expenses but that money barely makes to the next paycheck. Not to mention, my job recently got new management so many peoples hours were cut including mine so my paychecks have been much less than they were previously. I’ve also been applying to jobs consistently everyday that hopefully pay more but I’m not having any luck at all. My dad’s just been on my case every week sometimes multiple times a week asking to send screenshots of my bank accounts and my transactions. He’s also threatened multiple times that he would go to the police and file papers to get me evicted from living at my mom’s house. He doesn’t live in my mom’s house by the way my parents divorced. He also made a group message with me and my mom in it where every single week I need to send him screenshots of my bank accounts and jobs that I have applied to. I’m just posting this here because I need know if this it is normal for a parent to be asking their 22 yr old child to see their bank accounts. Also any general advice for handling this situation. (Wish I could attach screenshots of the messages on here)
Side note: As you can tell me and my dad do not have a close or good relationship. This is the only time we speak.
