Am I overreacting for cutting off my dad and my boyfriend after I found out my dad gave him a car to leave me?

I’m 18 and this happened a couple weeks ago but I’m still not okay. I was dating someone for a few months and even though it wasn’t super long it felt really deep. We were close. We texted all the time, called at night, sent music and random stuff. He was 21 and didn’t come from a perfect background. He worked part-time, didn’t have a car, and was still figuring things out. He usually walked or got rides from friends, and he never made me feel like that was a problem. I liked him the way he was and how he made me feel.
But my dad hated him from the start. He kept saying I deserved better. Someone with a future. He thought this guy would only drag me down. It got to a point where he’d make comments even when my boyfriend was around, like I was wasting myself or throwing my life away.
Then out of nowhere, my boyfriend completely cut me off. No explanation. He blocked me everywhere. I thought I did something wrong. I felt sick for days, replaying everything in my head.
A few days ago I texted him from another number. I asked for the truth. And he told me. He said my dad offered him his car if he left me alone and disappeared. He said my dad told him I deserved someone better and that he would never accept him anyway. And he accepted it. He said he needed it and thought it was for my own good.
The screenshots are from that conversation. I told him he let my dad make the decision for both of us. He just said sorry and that he never meant to hurt me. But he already did. I told him he was done with me. Forever.
I feel like I never mattered to either of them. Like I was just passed over and pushed aside. And now I don’t even know how to feel. Part of me wonders if he did it because he really thought he was helping me, or if he just used it as an excuse to walk away. I don’t know if I should forgive him or if this just proves he never really loved me.
Am I overreacting?
