advice needed: A levels or Foundation year

I just got my A level results a few days ago and honestly im so disappointed on how bad i did despite putting all my effort and work in it. i barely ever went out and even restricted phone use during the 4 months before exams. I ended up with grades way way lower than i expected. My mother wants me to redo my A levels but my father thinks im a useless failure and cant redo them cause id mess up again. Although my father did tell me to think about what i wanted to do.

I have three options,

  1. Redo A levels, which means id have to restudy everything (i dont mind doing it) however i studied like crazy last time and ended up with horrible grades so im scared that it'll happen again and then id just be a double disappointment to my parents.

  2. Enter a low ranked university in my country. I'd be able to get in however the education system in my country is absolutely horrible and i doubt my degree would be valid anywhere else. Plus they do not offer the degree i want so id end up with a degree i do not want. This is the pathway my father wants me to take since he doesnt believe i am good enough for anything else.

  3. Do a foundation year abroad. im currently looking at universities in the US, Ireland, Malaysia, as well as Australia that offer foundation year. My O levels grades are more than enough to apply for foundation year. My current top choice is the FY in U of melbourne.

Has anybody been in a similar situation? I want to gather advice and think deeply about what im gonna do in the future before i speak to my father. Any advice on how to prove to him that im able to do a foundation year would be appreciated!
