And while we're at it, you're a legal adult and you were the one who was speeding. When your dad didn't call the lawyer back, what was wrong with you picking up the phone yourself?
I had a client come into the office a couple of weeks ago. She was 19 and was dealing with a problem with the IRS that absolutely required HER to make a phone call to the IRS. I offered to make the phone call from our office where I could help her deal with them. Her response? "I am only 19, I cannot do anything at all like that unless my mother is present". She had a serious situation going on that I won't go into, but what her mother told her to do would have just made it worse.

There are some helicopter/controlling parents out there who have brainwashed their young adult children into believing that they cannot do anything unless mommy or daddy is in charge of what happens.
