Girls: Do You have a close loving relationship with your dad / father ?

Not exactly, but that's because of personal/family problems, but I wish we were close

nope

I used to when I was younger. But he slowly began to treat me how he treated my older brother before he was kicked out (my bro). And I finally understood everything my brother had ever complained about. And now I feel so sorry for him.

Dads suck. They don't realise the smallest comments can make a BIG impact.
My dad is so up himself. He lets the power get to his head and then takes control of my life and we end up fighting. 15 minutes later he's acting like nothing ever happened and expects it to be okay.

*sigh*

My father and I don't speak. We've never had a relationship, and probably never will. My only memories of him are waking up at 4 A.M. to hear him yelling at my mom and of the custody battle in which he swore he was a model father & husband, when really he was & still is just an abusive jerk.

No me and my dad do not speak. haven't in two years... I hate every thing about him. some times I hate him so much when I look in the mirror I want to vomit because I look just like him.

I'm a Daddy's girl, through and through

mine is overprotective and he's not often here with us but he's really overprotective if a guy talks to me lol still! anyways, I get along better with him for some reason ...

Yes I do, My dad and I get along very well and we are a lot a like. My father taught me a lot growing up and I would never change the relationship we have together.
Even though we don't have a lot in common we make a point to do the things we do enjoy, I go to concerts, dinner or have a few drinks with my family and friends around.
I feel bad now that I know there are 38% of the people who are not close with their fathers, this will help me appreciate my relationship more.
Sorry for the people who have had a hard time with their family :(

I'm currently trying to get on better terms I just hope it's not to late. He was abusive when I was younger but I figure I can't hold that against him forever since I understand he was abusive because he and my mom had me way to young and didn't know how to cope with it and it was the way he was raised.

No I am not. We hate eachother. Avoid each other as much as possible. Some people say my "daddy issues" are the reason I am the way I am with relationships. I like having domestic discipline. I call my boyfriend Daddy and he spanks me,puts me in the corner,takes away privlages,that kind of stuff when I break the rules he gives me. They also say that's why I "sleep around" at a young age. But they are wrong.

nope my dad only see's me when IM the one who goes to see him 2 hrs away, he doesn't make an effort to even come see me. its sad. scars us for life in some ways we proably don't know about

lol my dad and I have our ups and downs, but overall we're pretty tight.

Although growing up I never really saw my dad because our family was this close to being broke so he had no choice but to travel for work in order to make money. Yup, looking back it was actually really rough not having a dad and that genuinely caused other problems, but it's good to have him back now and not having to worry about the amount of money we spend lol.

is the sky green ?
really though, he's been outta my life for a long time
only popping up every blue moon...
then getting upset over something small/stupid.
at that point he leaves again.

Nope, my Dad is a jerk.

We're practically identical haha. We get along extremely well.

We're not CLOSE close, but we are on pretty good terms (we live under the same roof btw)

I am close with my dad! Even now that I do not live in the same town as him! I know that I can always count on him for anything!

I have a pretty close relationship with my father, I'm not spoiled or anything but he understands me whenever I have problems with friends or at work or so I go and tell him. I don't tell him about all guys I date because he's protective but I do tell him about serious guys !

Yeah :) My dad lives in Glasgow so I don't see him loads but I still talk to him on the phone. I love my dad :) My mum never stopped me from seeing him after they divorced so I am grateful :)

nope,never met him.
"hunglowman4you"
ur probably one of those creeps who prey on little girls without fathers.

my mother and father divorced when I was a baby, their relationship was over before I was born. but my step father came into the picture shortly after and has been around since. so I definitely did NOT go with out a father... it just wasn't my biological father.

Yes I had Close Relationship with my dad . he pretty much raised me even though my mom was in the household till I was 12. I was always closer to him .
