I had driving phobia for years, and my mom, to keep me from losing my job, would follow me to work. I looked at it as her going out of her way to try to help me instead of enabling me to just quit driving. You have to take baby steps to get out of your comfort zone, and it seems your dad is trying to help you do that. You will be ok, he will be right there with you, and once you see that you can do it, you will feel a great sense of accomplishment, I promise. It may just give you the boost you need to start slowly driving alone and think of how that will open your world up. I spent several years being afraid to drive even a mile away alone. After my divorce, I had no choice. I still don't enjoy driving, but I love the fact that I can and will do it.
