So, I had this trip that cost about $300 that I opted not to go to because my family's financial situation isn't that great.Plus my parents are trying to save money for my sister's university [next year]
My dad lives in Kuwait, he recently went to my grandmother's memorial service in another country. Today I find out that he's coming over in a few hours. My mom didn't even tell me directly, she told my sister to tell me, and that's about.. $1000 for the plane ticket.
WTF? He's only staying here for a few days, so that makes it a bigger waste of money. I don't like my dad. I've lived without him for 3 years now,& whenever he comes here, he criticizes everything I do, from the way I dress to my school work. Alcohol's illegal in Kuwait, so he spends money on that here.& when it comes to things I need, like when my laptop needs fixing, he complains about the money.
He complains about my room being messy & thinks I'm hiding things from him, so he practically raids my room.
Help me T_T

He's here now -.-
Much awkwardness ensues..
I cleaned up my room, but he didn't have a look at it yet..
He got mad at me for coughing, and said I didn't take care of myself >.>

Sounds like a pretty nosy, selfish and bossy guy. Well...pick you room up but don't expect anything from him and if I were you I would make myself absent from this unannounced visit. Find somewhere else to be and when he arrives and if mom has anything to say about it...repeat what I said to include..."he's not interested in me except to criticize ...but I did clean my room." He's one of those types whom I call one of The Critic's of the World. Why not make him happy by giving him something else to criticize you for. Who does he think he is? Mr. Perfect or General Patton?
Also...your room is your room and should be off limits to him. Hang a sign on the door..."Friends Welcome...
Relatives by Appointment Only"

Neaten things up in your room so it won't attract attention.
Go to a hardware store and get a keyed lock to put on your bedroom door and wear the ONLY key on a string around your neck, tucked into your shirt.
When dad arrives, you lock up and leave. Make yourself scarce. Go stay with a friend. Explain to your mom that you are removing yourself from conflict.
