If you are having problems with accessibility and having trouble getting an appointment with the therapist it is the universe's way of telling you to find another therapist. Which you have done.
I cannot emphasize enough how beneficial peer-therapy groups can be. (That's a huge part of what AA is all about.) The camaraderie that is built is amazing. She'll realize she isn't alone or the only strange one who doesn't fit into the world. Which may be the biggest gift you can give her.
SadDad definitely needs to see the therapist alone. Daughter is not the only one with issues that need individual attention. Some professional guidance for him could go a long way toward benefiting his daughter, as he seems so alone in what he is facing.
He obviously loves his daughter, but it's to the point where he's smothering her as a person. No phone and no permission to use the car from time to time...it's no wonder she doesn't have friends. He's not allowing her that contact.
--- If she flunks out, tell her that she can work and pay for the next semester and if she passes, you'll reimburse her.
The school she wants to go to accepts 24+ ACT; she scored 29 so she is in. I told her to apply and get the admission. If she straightens up with her studying she can go, but if not then CC until she does. I wanted to give her something concrete to work towrads.
That will backfire on you i fear. Because if she doesn't ever go she will blame you for standing in the way of her dream. And through scholarships and working a job she could go anyway despite you.

You seem quite opinionated against me or anything I do/ask. I came here for some advise and all you've really done is point out what an ogre I am and that the best thing that can happen for my daughter is for her to escape me ASAP.

Honestly, I don't think anyone here thinks you are an ogre!
We can all see how worried you are about your daughter.
But we are concerned that you aren't seeing how controlling you are being with her and what the detrimental effects of that are for her.

Because you are playing with her education based off of what you view as probabilities. You have to let her get on that bike and fall off...and get back on. And i am giving you advice...back off some and let her grow as an adult. Her weight can have several factors but if you have a poor diet or you yourself is overweight she won't have much motivation to lose it. You never answered me on that so i might be wrong on that.
That in no way sounds like what you are now trying to make it out to be - that you were just "tutoring" her in your subject field.
It doesn't sound to me like she asked for your help at all, sorry.
