Yes what I got is the girl already didn’t have her mom, and yeah the dad is only as active now because the grandmother passed. The great-grandmother was doing most the raising and everything went downhill right when she passed. It’s as if she lost two parents (her great-grand mom and her mom) and now dad is tried to pick up - but by then she got traumatized. This is why I always say men need to stay active and stop putting the responsibility on their mom to raise their kids, especially daughters. This has always been a man’s biggest fear.

When he lost that everything crumbled and no one was there to support him. Everyone want to make him the bad guy because he is the adult and she is the child but in reality he is just stretched thin and is just trying to get some help from what is left of his family. Unfortunately that person happens to be his eldest daughter. now don't get me wrong, I don't think it is her job to support him but I completely understand where he's coming from and he has my empathy just as much as the daughter does. In a weird way I think both of them are in the same position and don't really know how, or don't have the bandwidth to help each other which continues to deepen their issues.

I was better off without a dad. My mom and I were doing good and I was happy she brought my step dad into my life and it was hell he broke our relationship and closeness and she allowed him to be in charge of my life which he abused. He abused me in multiple ways and as a 24 year old adult I have so much trauma and ptsd and my life has been majorly affected by him. I would’ve had a better chance at a normal life without him. My mom didn’t even listen to me and believed him over me and he is a registered SO.

Parenting has no textbook, but talking, honestly and openly, can write many chapters in their book of life, no matter the subject. We are human and subjected to mistakes.
