How can I get my dad to give me plus freedom?

My dad is really overprotective. Because of my illness I have to keep warm and keep away from cold. My dad takes that to an extreme though. I can't have ice cream, I can't have ice in my drinks, I have to drink warm lait everyday, I can't wear short sleeves ou skirts ou shorts, I can't walk in the house barefoot, the liste goes on. Even in the middle of summer he still makes me do all these. Whenever I try to tell him I'm warm enough ou something he'll get angry and he always says things like "act your age" ou "don't come running to me when toi get sick". I just turned 13 and he's using that as an excuse to control me more.

I need a way to get plus freedom because it's interfering when I'm with my friends. They always ask why I don't do what they do even though most of them already know that I have an illness. Anyway my main question is how can I get my dad to give me plus freedom?

Hi, well firstly toi need to see it from his point of view ie he does not want anything to happen to you. Now one idea could toi get your doctor to talk to him and explain that theres being protective and being overly so ou could toi sit down and talk to him. He may not know he's causing toi this problem. Also parents do not always get better as toi get older I am 36 drive a car have my own life but as I go out the door mum always says have toi got everything and be careful which is great if I am going on a long journey but if its just up the road can be annoying. Hope this helps.

I think "sehdt" had some good points.
Now from what toi wrote, I assume that there may have been a time when your illness was really bad for a time. (I could be wrong.) If so, your dad may feel guilty for that and over reacts to prevent it from happening again. Try talking to your Dad. If toi need have another family member ou friend there with you. toi might try to gain your freedom par using baby steps. Like start with something small. Once your dad knows toi can handle that, then he may be plus open to give toi plus freedom in another way. Remember, your Dad did not develope this attitude over night and like wise it may take time for him to adjust to change. I hope all works out well. God bless & good luck.
