| Advice & Discussions | Why is my father never proud of me?...
Hi everyone, this is different than a bf/gf relationship conflict, this is about a father-daughter relationship.
Through out my life, i have always had a strict, diciplinary father. I believe it is from his hard background that he has a hard time showing emotions (other than anger). | My father was a sadist, which I fear has forever altered my views on men
My father was a sadist, and I fear that having had him as a male role model growing up, that I may be screwed for life when it comes to men. My hatred for my father, I fear has set the precedent for the way I feel towards most men. Don't get me wrong, women can be abusive tyrants too, but I still feel particularly angry towards men, for the atrocities they have committed throughout history, for the rape, murder and brutality they commit today, for their propensity to leave their babies to grow up and be raised solely by their mothers, etcetera, etcetera, dot, dot, dot. | My Boyfriend's Psycho Father
I've been dating a man for six months now who I absolutely adore. He is twenty-one years old (and surprisingly mature for his age), sweet, caring, supportive, etc... puts up with my heavy feminist and slightly crazy peresonality... =D You know, my dream guy. | Tough situation with fiance and her father...

This could be a long story, but I will try and make it as short as possible.
I have been seeing my SO for almost 2 years now, since she was 18 and I was 26. We have had our fair share of "normal" problems, and in my opinion, worked through them really well. | my father may be cheating on my mother...
So I went home last week for the weekend and when I was there found some history on the internet of personals sites in the city of (censored). I didn't think much of it at that point but then later in the week I spoke with my mother and she's saying my father's been gone more lately, disconnected from her, etc. |
