It's also shitty of your dad to put your aunt in that position, making her choose between living with the person that helped torpedo her life or leaving her niece to fend for herself on the streets. It shouldn't be left to your aunt to punish you or take care of you after this, and if your dad figured she would let you in and thought his anger at what you did was more valid than her anger at actually being the wronged party, he sounds insufferable.

Tl;dr: your dad's a dick, and not just to you.

I ALWAYS left my headlights in auto mode in my previous car. Let my old man borrow it for a couple days, and he obviously didn’t like auto headlights and switched them off. Next time I drove after dark it took me embarrassingly long to realise I was driving dark. Felt like a major idiot, and realised how easy it is to become reliant on something to do something for me.

Learn from this situation. Be grateful that you passed. However, ensure that you are kind to yourself and work on your well-being minus any medication to help you get through tough times.

Focus on techniques that improve your well-being. E.g. box breathing, a walk outdoors or meditation.

When you have important tasks or duties, reassure yourself by speaking to yourself. E.g "nothing in life is permanent, this feeling I have right now will pass, and I will feel better."

FYI, I am a scientist with a PhD. Had a lot of life experience - just sharing some pearls of wisdom.
