If you have trust issues with you father as a daughter does it affect your?

Question

relationship with men. I lent my dad alot of money when i was 20 yrs old $10,000 he never fully paid me back and he took my truck away when I just put $7000 into it( I came home late one day ) so he took away my truck and he did lot of dishonest things, does that affect your relationship with men in the future and if so how does it it affect it,thanks.

Answer 1

It all depends on the rest of your relationship. In the worst case I would say it might make you have a little less trust in men.

Answer 2

Just dont go thru life thinking that all man are the same, im sure that ur dad does that in a way to "teach u a lesson" but dont let this happen with a boyfriend (dont let them abuse) I believe just for the fact that ur dad is the one supporting u since you were born he fells this kind of power over you, but remember that a boyfriend has not been there for you all ur life so dont ever let that happened with a boyfriend, there's a special someone for u out there dont be judgemental and enjoy life

Answer 3

That is an excellent question. I can relate to your problem because I also have trust issues with my father. I believe it can affect future relationships because it can make you mistrustfull of men. On the other hand it may improve ones relationship because you have to take that realtionship slowly, and not rush into things.

I hope this helped!!!!

Answer 4

It may affect things at first in a negative way, but we should not allow negative experiences of the past come out against other people we meet along our travels in life. How would you feel if your spouse or boyfriend had met "a witch" of a woman before meeting you.
Do the men that will be in your life deserve it ?

Answer 5

I think that any issues you have with any one in a position of respect in your life will affect all other relationships because you don't necessarily have a strong standard by which you can measure all the other things in your life. For example if you can't trust someone who you completely rely on then you learn to only trust yourself when it comes to really important things, and its not good to not have someone out side of your self to trust.

Answer 6

I think it could potentially affect your trust...but you sound like a rational person with a good head on your shoulders and YOU know that your dad is a looser and that not ALL men are like that.
I am sorry that your father is such a disappointment to you but please know that there are many honorable wonderful men out there, it's up to YOU who you choose to have in your life.

Answer 7

Realize that all people are different.

Just because your dad is a scoundrel doesn't mean all men are (though opinions vary, I'm sure).

There's a tendency, I think, to be drawn to those who share our parents' attributes - both positive AND negative. Make a concerted effort to find men who don't share your dad's disregard for fiscal responsibility and personal property.

Best of luck to you in your life's travels.

Answer 8

I believe it affects it because well I've had problems with my father since I was a little girl. I'm not too sure if it would affect you so much since you know your obviously older than I was when my problems with my father began. But I guess since your bringing it up... deep down it must affect you? Well my problems with my father was that he would cheat on my mother and I think thats really affected me and my sister because we are both very possessive and for some reason always think that our bfs are bound to cheat on us.

Answer 9

It hasnt affected my relationship with men, but If this situation happened to me, It would affect how I trust people with MONEY.

Hopefully, these lessons will play a part in your future relationships. You now know first hand what to look for when trying to spot a louse. You are one up on alot of women.
