Girls, Is it ok to not want to date because of your family situation?

[Anonymous]

I come up from a violent and loveless family situation. My father's side is evil and insane. My mom's side is very redneck and poor. My father is a huge asshole who never stops insulting and verbally an physically abused me as a child. My parents have huge fights all the time since I was a child and still do. No one cared about me growing up. I'm disowned by both sides of my family. No one cares about me now. I'm terrified of relationships because I don't want my parents marriage. I'm 40 and stayed single my whole life to avoid having a relationship or the situation my parents put me into. Is it too late to change?

It's NEVER TOO LATE. Go out there and find the love of your life. All the reason to do just that and to never be your parents. You won't be like them. Maybe gets some counseling too because it can be damaging being abused like that. I'm sorry that happened to you. I wish you all the best, luck and love

Thanks for a nice mature answer. Whenever I've mentioned the abuse to a woman they leave and I never see them again. Or they make fun of me or call me a coward. no one ever said they were sorry I was abused. thank you.

I was abused too so I know what it feels like. Those girl were immature. I respect a man's emotions and feelings. I wish more men came out and spoke on how they feel more often. No worries buddy I hope you have a great day

It’s never too late. You have one life and one shot to make what you want out of it. Doesn’t matter if you’re 40, 50, 60, age shouldn’t stop you from living.
