A:
First, try to stay calm and ensure your immediate safety. If you have a phone, call a trusted friend, family member, or neighbor who can provide you with temporary shelter or assistance. It's important to not stay alone, especially if your epilepsy requires supervision.
Next, communicate with your father to understand his reasons and express your concerns. Try to have a calm and respectful conversation, explaining why you need to be inside and emphasizing your health needs. If talking in person is not possible, consider writing a letter or sending a message to explain your situation clearly and calmly.
If the situation doesn't improve, consider reaching out to local services or authorities for help. Organizations that deal with health and social services can offer support and guidance. In urgent cases, don't hesitate to call emergency services for immediate assistance. Your well-being is the priority, and there are people and resources available to help you.
