I'm an 18 year old girl and I love my dad. If he died today I would be in tears. But I'm not even comfortable hugging him. Let alone, having anything more than small talk. But I know he wants to have a better relationship with me. Ive heard him say it. But I just feel weird around him. I even used to leave a room completely when he walked in. I would say Hi then go. I unknowingly did that for awhile, until thankfully, my sister pointed it out. I was pretty much crushing my dads feelings. Its not that I purposely dont want to be around him, I just unintentionally avoid him and dont know why

    I feel the same exact way. Except I have the feeling of like sexual tension. Like when I was little my mom told me my dad would tell me "that's your pussy down there" and now, I am 19, but he always tells me im beautiful. And in the past couple months he has made comments on my boobs. If you need to talk more message me!

    Sounds like you should have spent more time together so you'd have a bond. It's not too late to start though! Watch a movie with him or go to lunch together, just fun things like that. You'll both be glad you did.

    I kind of feel the same way, except that I also feel annoyed about everything he does (eating a sandwich, petting the cat etc). He hasn't done anything wrong, always been a good dad, yet I feel like this.

    Most females who feel this way about their fathers have had a sexual encounter with him. I know.

    My dad left when I was 7... Now, because of my shyness and sorrow, I feel like I can't talk to him.

    It does happen one Priest at our church told us that, the fear, hatred we have for our parents it might have started when we are still in our parents womb this may be due to that our parents or lets say one of them might have not supported the pregnancy or wanted u aborted, or maybe one of the parents broke the heart of another will u were still inside your mothers womb, well to solve this u need to pray to Jesus Christ invite him and ask Him to give u guidance and strength

    He molested you and you repressed the memories. What the fuck else could it be?

    I dunno, seems kinda odd and suspicious to me. My dad is probably my best friend. We also share a very similar personality certain facial features.
