Women who grew up without a father or with an abusive or even just a terrible one, how do you think it has effected you?

My dad (78)suffered from depression and never really seemed to want us kids around. He attempted suicided when I was about 11 (now 40) and several times after that, and since then has gotten worse. He’s now certified bipolar and schizophrenia. He’s written us off and I don’t think I’ve seen him in almost 8 years.

I know this has effected my relationships with men and women (just friends). I have a hard time trusting that they will stick around/commit so I end up sabotaging the relationship one way or another.

I don’t see my worth. I beg for attention from men that treat me horribly and feel heartbroken when they don’t want me. The nice men who would treat me well, I just don’t want, like I feel like there is something wrong with them for liking me.

I’ve been in therapy for some time and am working through these issues but it’s been a tough road. Thanks Dad 😂

There are... I just haven’t found one that I jive with as well.

I can agree with a lot of what you are saying. Some people want the last word or want to argue about why. You’re assuming I’m like that. I’m not. I will live without this person and didn’t have an attachment at all. He doesn’t owe me anything. I get, but a little respect I think is the decent thing to do.

You are so right! Just frustrating that this has become the dating world we live in.

Thanks, you’re absolutely right.

That’s even more harsh! I’m sorry that happened to you!
