50million Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Bo - I agree with you just saying. Although it is hard to have someone 'around' you're life when they're not really 'in' it. My dad does indeed play D&D and calls me by my moms name. I don't have a terrible father, he just never disciplined me and my mom was enough parent for the both. I don't have any issues with my dad per se. I do however have some weird kind of interest in younger girl/older guy sexual situations. My friends say it's daddy issues, but I honestly don't think it has anything to do with my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 is this a competition? anyway clearly in terms of what people think of when they think of growing up, you had a much more difficult set of circumstances to deal with.. and also, what does she care who her dad wants? why don't people just say 'regardless of how I may see this person, that guy i love wants her, so i will live and let live' maybe that's what happens when you grow up used to having shit go your way (and in that sense, the sense of how your dad abandoning you might have left you much better prepared to deal with the regular shit of life, maybe you had it ok in some ways.. i've always said hardship builds character) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampFightOner Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 My dad is awesome. My mom too. They pretty much kicked me out when I was 16 cause I was a fucking asshole, but we get along great now. I feel bad for people with shitty parents.

geezpot Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 "A" seems worse to me. Both my parents and in-laws have been together for over 30+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends say it's daddy issues, but I honestly don't think it has anything to do with my dad. Most chicks go for older dudes. That's not "Daddy issues", it's just human nature.

seeking Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 they both suck in totally different ways that are almost apples to oranges. your situation sucked, but it wouldn't have necessarily been any better if he was around. he might have been abusive to the both of you, which would have been much worse than if he was just gone. you had hardships but it taught you things you wouldn't have learned otherwise. she grew up in a normal environment and now has to learn to live with a parent who no longer wants her or her kid. you went through the grieving process long ago, she's just going through it now. she might be more equipped to deal with it as an adult, but theres really no 'silver lining' to her situation. this won't teach her a lesson or make her a better person, it'll just suck. maybe not as bad as your situation, but theres also not a single good thing to come from it.

shai Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Sometimes it's good to know where you stand with people...having said that, I still think her dad is an ass clown. And 50 is one of the more well-adjusted friends I have. She doesn't let whatever issues she may have affect the people around her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_gacy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Haven't read thread, only original post. Your situation = worse when circumstances are compared. Plus, your relationship with your dad can no longer change now. Hers still could. Forgot to add, on the most simplistic level, one could say that they both suck regardless of individual circumstances. Both are painful in different ways, and on that level, you are both equal.

Lavamonstermisty Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Your childhood sucks harder in general but her dad situation is worse. At least you can blame shit on your dad and just think he's a shitty person. She has to question why, after years of love and affection her father has chosen a stranger over her. You just have to live with the fact that your mother fucked a douchebag and you were born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crime stoppers Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 by the time kids are 7 its said they have already developed most of their characteristics for life. if she had a nice, simple childhood she's much better off than a kid who struggled through his early years. you definitely had it rougher than your missus at least for her she was old enough to process what was happening.
