Is it normal for girls to hate their father?

Do I sound retarded to you? I'm merely pointing out the very foreseeable, pitiful and lonely future that you will face if you continue with your bigotry. You think you speak on behalf of all females? "No, seriously," do you? You go on as if men are any different. Have you even seen modern day society? Probably not, as you seem to be a typical keyboard warrior whose only female companion is probably their mother Guys can be shallow creatures too and it's pretty arrogant to generalise the entire female species. Keep your unnecessary misogynistic comments to yourself. Your ****ty input is not valued here

ok.

Well, I wouldn't say it's normal, but I can understand. Basically I don't really have a relationship with my parents any more, no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't forgive them for the things they had done, because they kept on doing it and were never remorseful. When ever I have to see them I feel incredibly uncomfortable and distant, like I can never remember a time when I actually loved or even liked them. I have reasons for hating my parents and I'm sure you do have valid reasons for hating your father, you said that he made comments on you leaving... It doesn't particularly sound like a joke but perhaps it's his idea of one? I can understand how it can bother and upset you, you might get over it one day, but if you don't it's not your fault. Whatever you're feeling is normal, it's not like you hate everyone, it is just your father.

I hate mine, there is no specific reason...he has just never been a positive figure in my life and I have lots of issues with self esteem/my appearance probably due to him. My two best (female) friends also don't get on with their fathers for similar reasons; overly disciplinarian/verbally abusive.

I can't imagine having a Dad I liked, I truly believe i'd be a more well-adjusted person if he hadn't been in my life. It sounds terrible seeing as how he never did anything specific but I can't help feeling this way.

I sometimes think if I ever have a child I don't want the father to be involved because of my experiences, I wouldn't want my child to grow up feeling unloved/unwanted.

Does anyone else understand? Is it normal for girls not to get on with their father? (I have a good relationship with my mum)

I would further add that people who claim to "detest" their parents should be thrown to the wolves or something. Unless it's for serious issues (like physical/sexual/emotional abuse), they probably don't even deserve parents.

Our Western society is too dopey in this regard, we reckon it's cool to say that, but it's frankly mentally unhealthy.

According to Freud, no

If the parent has had nothing but negative contributions to a persons life why is it so bad to have a strong disliking towards them. If someone was continually critical and insulting to you would you respect them despite them having done nothing to earn this respect? Just because you share half of someone's DNA doesn't mean you have to be eternally grateful to them.

I have never regarded it as 'cool' to hate my father, infact the opposite. I am not proud of it, nor is it something that I have just 'decided' to say for attention. It's the manifestation of my feelings over 22 years which have culminated in nothing but disliking for a man who has had little to do with me otherwise.

lol... who the hell are you to lecture to anybody?

umm...who are you to tell me I can't lecture anybody?

This can go on for a while

It's common knowledge that nobody has total insight. if the OP wishes to detest, it's her own business.
