[@bunnyslippers191]

Remembering back when I was little, Dad was the one who played more roughly with us and we loved it! Mom didn't pick us up and toss us around the way Dad did. One of my favorite things Dad did when I was little was to toss me onto his bed. He'd get some air with the toss, too, and it was glorious. Meanwhile Mom would be telling him that was going to ruin the mattress, but he would say, "A mattress can be replaced, but having fun can't! She's only going to be this young a little while." Another thing he did was grab me by the ankles, turn me upside down and walk around the house with me for a few minutes. After I grew up I used to do that with my niece when she was little. We both loved it! Of course, I couldn't do that as long as Dad could, since, as a woman, I just didn't have the upper body strength my dad had.

Her story about her dad was so sad... I don't know what's worse--having a father who was always cruel, or a father who was once loving and became cruel. Maybe the latter is the least ofthetwo evils, since you at least have some good memories, as well as an idea of how he became that way.

[@chickennoodlesoup3301]

It hurts more to have and to lose, than to never have had at all

[@lAmCanad1an]

Always cruel. You never really do feel like a family then. 'Tough love' can be cruel if not used properly.

[@ladylily]

It's far worse for a loved one to stop loving and become cruel. For the child, they never want to stop giving up that love will return and will continue being hurt worse and worse when their hope is crushed time and time again. Same with spouses of abusive spouses who were once kind. It's a way for abusive people to gain and keep control, and it's sadistic. At least with a jerk, you never expect kindness so the heartbreak is less and it's easier to walk away.

[@julescharles1032]

Probably a loving ---> cruel relationship. Because then your trust is betrayed on top of everything else, where otherwise there was no trust to betray in the first place

[@LazerTrout]

I loved my father dearly in my childhood. My father also adored me. I... I didn't realize his faults at all. I was forced to make a big sacrifice around the time of turning 18 in order not to loose my father, and that was fairly traumatic, which was all for nothing in the end. When I grew up.. he started to live a different life. First I was supportive because I wanted him to be happy, but the more happy he became, the more reluctant he was to understand my depression, because he cared about his happy life more and didn't want anything "spoiling" that. He did somethings and finally did something horrible that broke my heart and he didn't even care that I attempted suicide afterwards, just made it about himself again. I have come to realize there is a reason why so many people dislike him. He has narcissist tendencies and as long as you put him first and worship him, he would be willing to give you the world but once you don't... He will say things just to hurt you. I will hold remember the good bits but I have to say that the person who you loved the most in the world, has the power to hurt you the deepest as well. I would argue that long time abuse is worse, depending on the severity, in the sense that it's difficult to escape from it, during it and even after it, but heartbreak and the feeling of being betrayed by someone you truly loved wholly is something that I find more difficult to cope with. I've experienced long time abuse and love, and to me personally it was more difficult to cope with the scenario where father was once "loving" but then became cruel. That is due to my personality however. People have always been shit to me, but I just disliked them back, and didn't let them bring me down. Overtime it took it's toll, but I have recovered. When it's someone you love however? Damn that's messed me up. Sorry for the long text, I probably rambled on too long

He loved us so much. I have never seen a man who adored children as much as my father did. If he saw someone with a little baby or small child, a total stranger, he would approach them and show such love toward their child. He would play with them and try to make them laugh. The people would just smile and be patient with him. It didn't matter what race they were. He didn't care. He just thought they were the sweetest thing on earth.

I know in my own culture we have something called "machismo" and its basically men being really strict about stereotypical gender roles (women stay in the kitchen and take care of the kids, men work and their wives serve them 😒) and they are very strict and insecure about "girly" things like men can't wear nail polish or the color pink or you're gay. And one of the characteristics of machismo is that men don't really play or tend to their kids, only once their sons get older they'll take them out to do "men's work" but they sure as hell as ready and willing to smack the hell outta their kids when they "misbehave".

I hope that she will somehow are able to read this and that by telling this embarrassing thing about myself and exposing what I am most ashamed about it will help her and others like her to heal.

There's a character that's cropped up in the American popular culture, 'Optimus Prime'. He's part of a children's cartoon series and came to model fatherhood for a lot of American boys. His voice actor, Peter Cullen, described his elder brother (a marine) as his inspiration for the performance. Cullen called his brother right before going in to audition for the role, and his brother advised him as to the best performance for the part. "If you're gonna be a hero, be a real hero. Don't be one of those Hollywood heroes, pretending they're tough guys when they're not. Be strong and real. Tell the truth. Be strong enough to be gentle." That's the highest ideal of American fatherhood. Honest, and strong enough to be gentle. Recognizing that gentleness is a mark of true strength.

she should see her father again. although he could've done things differently, he was simply reacting to whatever trauma he felt at the time. from my own understanding, it seems he felt he set certain goals for himself to achieve as a father, but he didn't. most likely feels as a failure and feels angry, but not sure where to direct it so he lashes out. i'm sure if she goes to him with the mentality that he was doing the best with what he had, but even he felt it wasn't good enough then i'm sure things will be okay it's weird. but a father places so much stress on his shoulders due to past stereotypes. when they feel like they failed at taking care of the family then they can become unpredictable. some become sad while others become enraged, for example
