Input: Throwaway because I have family who know my Reddit account.

So for some backstory, my father was incredibly emotionally abusive to me as a child. He hit me on occasion, often as "punishment" but usually for very minor things you probably shouldn't hit your kid over. The primary abuse however was constantly attacking me verbally, calling me useless and stupid, saying everything I liked and cared about was shit, etc. He put intense pressure on me to succeed academically and made me feel like I was a complete waste of oxygen if I so much as got an 80 on a test. Whenever I asked for help, he would agree then just berate me for not knowing what I'm doing. Basically, he made me hate myself, gave me extreme anxiety about school and people, and I made several attempts at ending my own life due to his treatment. My mother did nothing.

I'm 19 now, living with a family friend because being at the house I was raised in gives me extreme levels of anxiety. My parents are in the process of divorce because my father cheated, and what a surprise he tried to make all of us feel like it was somehow our fault he did so. Regardless, in general for the past couple of years he's "seen the error of his ways" and made attempts at being nicer. Although he still barely paid any attention to me, he at least wasn't calling me a fucking waste. I am attending therapy for the first time in years for my anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia, although finding medication is difficult and I have extreme panic attacks. My father lives with his gf, and the only time I've seen or spoken to him in the past 2 months is when he took me to a therapy session one time (which he only did after me and my mother basically begged him for a week).

My therapist suggested me adopting a dog to help with my panic attacks in public places. There is very little specific training necessary for this, so the cost is really just the dog and what a standard dog needs. I have the money for the dog itself, but not enough saved (had to leave job due to the panic attacks), however the family friend I'm with offered to help me since they already have a dog of their own. 

I asked my father to take me to the animal shelter to adopt a dog, my mom is injured and can't drive, and initially he agreed. However the next day he was berating me in texts, saying that my mental health would make me abusive to the dog, that he could not condone me having a pet because I don't have a job. I basically told him he has no right to tell me what to do with my life, since he never cared before and has treated me like shit. For the first time I actually told him that he is the primary reason I'm so fucked up, and that I no longer want him in my life in any capacity. He didn't reply, and still hasn't.

I told my mom and she called me entitled, said I was disregarding all of his "effort to change", and that it was petty of me to do this over a dog. I really think I'm in the right and my dad's a dick. So, AITA?
