'In retrospect, I might HAVE been too harsh': Father takes making-a-point too far and gets a dose of reality when grown daughter goes no-contact

Imagine being such an entitled father, that you run to the internet thinking your side would obviously be taken. Luckily, the internet is here to serve some hot and harsh doses of reality and this father got one. User ImportantHeron7650 on Reddit wrote how he “stormed out” of an argument with his daughter and she hasn't spoken to him since. It has been about a year now and he is finally starting to think maybe he went too far. The argument was about college. He had a college fund saved for her but wanted her to use it to go to a good state school. She was applying to state schools but also decided to apply to the local community college. When he saw this he could not believe his eyes. He was so upset, he didn't let his daughter pitch the idea to him. She tried to explain that financially it's smarter, but he wasn't listening. Instead, he pulled his funds and stormed out.
The daughter carried on without him and got into school on her own terms, but now she is no-contact with her father. He seems to still think that he was in the right, but maybe he was just a little harsh about it. The internet is here to tell him he is so much worse. Read the whole thing below!
