A child who drives, nice. It looks like it is an adult. And he’s saying that he’s fine, so from now it’s an economical, not a life-saving problem.

While I’m sure you appreciate the “lessons in Independence” that you learned, there are ways to learn those lessons without being effectively abandoned. I wouldn’t recommend applying that approach with any kids you eventually have.
“My dad should magically make himself available and unfuck the situation I’ve created”. Well, no. At least call mom first and own the problem.
