I didn't have an abusive father, but I didn't have a very good one lol. I go to counseling weekly now because of the **** I have been through growing up./ And for the most part, I like tot hink I'm a well adjusted young man.
I don't think you can just throw a blanket over every woman that has dad issues. I think you must take each case by case, and by that I don't mean, i will make a special exception for this girl, but I mean sit back and rationaly judge her behaviors and actions and try your best to determine if this is someone who is in your life.
I mean let's keep it real, if you were to do that, in this day and age, you are dismissing about half of the women population. My oneitis has big time daddy issues and while, she's just not my type, she's a very well adjusted young woman, from that standpoint at least. Her being a gold digger has nothing to do with her daddy issues lol. Her daddy issues were so bad that when her mother would go out of town for work, she would come sleep in my extra bed room. This went on even when I had a live in GF.
I will say, that her coming out and telling you she was abused however is a red flag. I don't talk about my dad, at all. He is persona non grata in my house hold. Most people who, have gotten threw something usually don't want to go back and visit it, or if they do as least as possible. I don't like people who flaunt abuse or a bad upbringing.
Even if you did bring it up, which you didn't, I get asked about my dad all the time. Doesn't mean I must lay it all out there for the world to see. It is what it is.
