Any god books with abusive relationships in them?

I read a really good book called, 'Things Change' and the main girl was in a abusive relationship with a guy. It was such a good book I was wondering if anyone had any other books like this.Any god books with abusive relationships in them?
Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-CourterAny god books with abusive relationships in them?
The Woman Who Walked Into Doors by Roddy Doyle:





http://www.amazon.com/Woman-Who-Walked-i鈥?/a>





It's fiction but true, true, true! It's about the abused woman and, though the author is a man, he nailed it!
Twilight's Bella and Edward relatioship are in a abusive relatioship but that's not a really good book so i would suggest Dreamland by


Sarah Dessen
The Dave Pelzer series. Its a book about child abuse. Really good and sad. The first book is called ';A Child Called It';
dreamland, sarah dessen. also read her other books, there are also some more relations like that, kind of.

Why do we get into relationships even though we know we are going to get hurt?

Evidently we are. Even if we are in a good one we will still eventually get hurt by our loved one.


Why do we bother?


Wouldn't it be better to just be alone for the rest of our lives and not end getting hurt by others?





Wondering what you all think...Why do we get into relationships even though we know we are going to get hurt?
Unfortunately it's just a part of life...can't go through life all guarded and walls up all the time! And you learn and grow from your experiences, so why hide from them. And I agree that the good sometimes outweighs the bad!Why do we get into relationships even though we know we are going to get hurt?
i always wonder that too,





but i guess its because you only live once and you might as well love the life you live, and if you are loving life while you are with that person, thats all you can ask for. you grow form the relationship and learn thigns about life and about your self
Relationships are thrilling.





You only get one life...why not take some risks, and see how things go? Even if they turn sour, you'll have experienced it, learned something, and had one hell of a ride!
The good things out weigh the bad things :)

Advice for high school aged relationships?

I've only had one boyfriend in the past, and plan on being single for a while. But I am curious--what experiences or advice do you have concerning a high school age relationship?Advice for high school aged relationships?
From my experience, don't let anyone pressure you into doing something if your unsure. Easier said than done, but high school passes and your left with your memories of that time. The less you have to regret then the better it will be remembered.





Don't move to fast, and don't disregard someone whose company you enjoy because of social hierarchies. Some of the greatest people are not conventionally ';cool';. I blew off an amazing guy in high school because he wasn't who my friends thought I should be dating and I regret hurting such a sweet, smart guy.Advice for high school aged relationships?
Don't let the relationship get too serious too fast. There are a lot of guys who lure girls in just to have sex with them. I'm pretty sure you already know what those consequences can be. You could get pregnant, an STD, your heart broken, etc. If you want to date, it should be just for fun now. If the relationship becomes sexual, use protection EVERY TIME. Don't get stuck on one particular guy. Chances are, the relationship won't last as long as you think it will. Hope this helps
sex is a big one, if u do get in a relationship, be prepared if the guy asks u and answer him if ur ready or not, but unfortunately, most high school relationships don't last long..
Well sex would be a big issue depending on the guy and being rushed into something your not ready for but just remember that the choice is yours and you don't have to do anything you don't want to.

    he likes you..dont worry =)

    I need some words of strength from other women who have left bad relationships?

    Also how did you get through the first few weeks. Its hard i still love the guy and a hate being alone. I only have 1 friend left so i cant really keep myself busy plus i have 2 kids and no support so i cant get a sitterI need some words of strength from other women who have left bad relationships?
    You need to take things one day at a time. I divorced after 5 years of marriage. It was very hard in the beginning I went through depression and all, I have a 4 year old boy and that made it even harder. Just remember give yourself time to heal and its not the end of the world. After some time I met a new man and he is just wonderful, treats me how I should of been treated all along. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Time does heal all wounds. Here are a few little message quotes to lift you up.


    First of all I dont know your religious views or beliefs but I will share this regardless.





    ';For I know the plans I have for you, declares the lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future:


    --Jeremiah 29:11





    ';My God shall supply all my needs, he makes a way out of no way';





    ';I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, and sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together';





    Keep your head up..You will see it will all be ok








    I need some words of strength from other women who have left bad relationships?
    If it was a bad relationship and you are out of it, good for you! The loneliness will pass as time goes on and you think about what you went through. Now its time to reflect and spend time with your 2 kids, not go out and try and jump into another relationship. Think about what you really want from a man and what you can give back to that man if he were to come along. Think about what your children need in their lives as well. Join a single parents group and make some new friends. You love the idea of being in love and now that he's gone, you think you need to replace that love but you don't (at least not right now). Find yourself and figure out who you are and where you're going in life. Good luck!
    i also left a bad relationship i took refuge with my older siblings and my parents are great i also devoted all my time after work to my son you can meet people at the park on a walk with the kids and you don't need any money to do this as far as support you should find out how the process works in your town and if there any fees you can call and find out


    good luck
    You need to find activities that will enrich your children's lives. Take them to church. Find a big church in your area where there are lots of activities. You will meet nice people there and they will have fun. You've probably sulked around and not been much fun for them lately.





    Whoever this guy was, he deserves to be alone. You deserve to take better care of yourself. Your kids deserve a full time mom.
    Its hard but you have to take it one day at a time and remember why you're not with him. Its hard but you'll make it. I've been there and trust me the first month is the hardest but just keep reminding yourself its for the best and you're better off with out him.
    I am going through the same thing and I also have 3 kids and no income. I know it is very hard when you still love the person. But I know there is a god that heals everything.
    Focus on your children, they adore you and you them, remember men come and go but your babies will always be there for you.

    or u can check out online databases, just type free online databases into googleWhat are two ways that relationships change during adolescence? How can you cope with these changes?
    When you reach adolescence, you feel that you should spend more time with others than the ones you love. As a result, relationships start to change. The relationships you make can be stressful to others around you. People close to you can be hurt or be worried about you.

    Report Abuse



    Well in my case it's not that I prefer asian women or anything. It is just that they are the easiest for me to get into bed. Most of the time they say that I'm tall,stuff like that. I have to say though I just like to sleep with easy chicks, they give it easy!!! All the more power to me!

    Report Abuse



    You're asian just shut up i'm sick of your stupid questions. You aren't fooling anybody we know you aren't a black women. You really are pathetic.
    You really need to find yourself a man and stop asking these obsessive questions
    Oh my god...why is it all stats with you people...?





    They dont like each other becuase of race, they like each other becuase they LIKE each other.





    Yeah i looked at your other questions-You really need to get a boyfriend.
    Your question can also be framed, 'What do Asian women see in white men?' Or why is there not this same phenomenon or preference of white men for black or Latino or Native American women on the same order and magnitude except -- if not secretively, quietly?





    I believe that Asian women truly do not know but rather it evidences an unconscious thing yet well-defended -- consciously -- both by themselves and white men.





    I do not believe the dynamic would differ if the chief players were brown men and white women if the same power and history components existed.





    This has more to do with human nature than anything else.





    There are many-fold reasons of course for this phenomenon between white men and Asian women: -- name them -- they are numerous causes -- historical, karmatic, attraction to differences and the exotic, leanings central to the natural propensities of being human beings -- power, popular and the fallacy of the appeal (again historically- and karmatic-based), access to entree, the vanities, the dynamics between an all but aggressive race (white race) vis a vis an all but impassive race (yellow race, or Asian).





    The karmatic forces at work are central to it all, however, good, bad, or waffle. There 'is' a kindred energy that comes to bear here: both the Asian and European karmic ties with North America evidence two mass cultures (or races if you will) that distinguish them from all others as regards the maturation cycles of the United States, for example: -- both Europeans and Asians decided their fates as regards immigrating to the New World (North-, South-, and Central America) in the beginnings as they proceeded to the varied countries of the New World.





    One might observe virtually all other races 'en mass' shared no say at all in their fates -- not the red race, not the black race, not the brown race -- all theirs were either taken or perversely disrupted -- each had no choice in planning, each instead remanded to make choices to survive given the destructions foisted upon them...





    The karma of Asia is outrageously different from that of Africa. The first came by choice; the second, by no choice at all, called the 'forced' slave trade. As to the red race, same -- called genocide.





    This does cause a tremendous difference in the energy fields and makeup of how these red, black, and red races live and perceive the worlds about them and how, most important of all, they receive the white race given how they were treated by them. They cared little about the exotic aspects that the Asian women find so overly intriguing regarding white men.





    The black, brown, and red races did not dote on the white race but instead held it in contempt down through the generations and centuries derived from maltreatment -- and a different karma altogether indeed does persist to this day.





    The Asian race, conversely, had choices. I say again -- they had choices. No brute force is tied to their coming to the United States, in particular, and thus they could plan, charter, organize, and systematize who they are, what they have and want to accomplish. And though they did meet with certain difficulties, they nonetheless had underpinnings, for of these Asian cultures none were corrupted and disjointed from its own genesis. No wariness, therefore, existed quite; no comparative great unrest did they hold-up before the white race nor did they find need to. Their greatest challenges were those of mere logistics, which in itself is a privilege to have if we are to compare it to the example that the red and black races in particular were faced with -- who had to discern most of all how not to have their very lives and freedoms taken.





    So why would the women of these two cultures be so taken or attracted and drawn to white men when their children and parents and spouses had to fight to stay alive or together as family and community units? Amid that specter, finding white men as something sexy or powerfully provisioned was their least pursuits or wants or needs.





    Conversely, Asians knew they had to survive and prosper, yes, but they knew as well, tactically so, to dote on the white race in order to proceed ahead. They were taught this and still are. Make no mistake. And 'that' they did well as would any culture who had that advantage -- they had no fear of being hanged, diseased, murdered en masse, having their cultures and languages dismantled, and their properties stolen (not en masse).





    See the differences here?





    Again, in contrast, the Asian cultural infrastructures were kept well intact, which is the benefit of having a central core to family and culture and tradition. The white race was not met with the same enmity by the peoples of the Asian Continent as they were with the red, black, and brown races of their respective geo-political origins.





    Naturally, that resonance we see subsisting even to this day, and which you are asking about here between those of Asian and European cultures availed the Asians a certain entree, which following is evident to not few of us today who observe, and which pattern in favor of these two races burgeoned following the civil rights and racial detente of the 1970's, by which time and level of energy everyone of the black, red, and brown races over hundreds of years before had been all but worn-out and spent -- had given everything they possessed to have their rights as human beings.





    Asians were not to make this sacrifice; it had well been done for them.





    One should note also that over the course of some 500 years three races were ever evident in the founding of the United States -- the red, black, and white races: the great trinity, with the white race as the common thread ever as well.





    The Asian people generally have never 'en masse' participated in and shared with such sacrifices as did the white, black, and red races. Yet the white race consistently held and holds the power and thus enjoys the spoils of the victor.





    Again, emphatically so, the Asian race has 'en masse' no track record of sacrifice when 'compared' to the black and red races, but they do well reap the rewards wrought from all the sacrifices made by the red and black races that came before them.





    But none in this country is exempt. All are or have been or will be tested. There is no exception. The laudatory assessment of the Asian race in this country has come simply by the history of bearing no threat to the white race. Their fortunes have come on the shoulders of those who came before them: upon the sacrifices made by the black and red races. It should come as no irony and not beheld as anything strange that the white male would find the Asian race as the ';critic's choice,'; and Asian women as the ';creme de creme';... They pose and posed no threats.





    This is a inverted example of Napoleon's tactic of war: divide and conquer. And what we have now, today, is but a pandering race of people that will continue to be so until they, too, are tried and tested and do prove they have earned the provisions of acceptance that they so enjoy and which the black and red races had seldom even been before given access to.





    The Asian culture could 'choose' the quietude of society because they could, since the other three races were already doing the hard work and ';heavy lifting'; beforehand, while laying the foundations and making the sacrifices, in which all that the Asian races had to do was slip right in comparatively unencumbered...





    Are Asian women attractive? yes, to me, yes. Do all men find them attractive? -- absolutely not.





    Yet do white people control over 90% of the power and wealth in the United States? -- absolutely yes as well.





    Can we blame white men for naturally enjoying the company that power and money accords them?-- no.





    Can we blame Asian women for being attracted to that same wherewithal? -- no.





    All is human nature, is this not true as well?
    its actually black men and white women.....








    but on the male side it is asian.
    Because whites are traitors to their people!!!!!!!!
    I definately disagree with the white man %26amp; asian woman thing... Hate to be mean, but most the white guys i know make fun of asians.
    Asian women are very subserviant when it comes to domesticated life. They love taking care of their man, they are very calm natured, and will not talk back, are a very gentle race.


    Most men like low-maintanace women, what easier way than to get home to dinner, cleanliness, and their woman kissing ***?

    Are you in favor of the IRS allowing same-sex couples in committed relationships to file joint tax returns?

    notwithstanding what it is called (marriage, civil union, domestic partnership or whatever), do you think that same sex couples should be allowed to file joint taxes?Are you in favor of the IRS allowing same-sex couples in committed relationships to file joint tax returns?
    Sure,,,I'm in favor of gays having all the same rights, and benefits, of any married couple, just don't call it marriage.





    Because it is the use of that word that upsets the religious.





    So compromise.Are you in favor of the IRS allowing same-sex couples in committed relationships to file joint tax returns?
    Sex of the individuals aside- I think that two people who are committed to each other (long term relationships) should be allowed to file joint taxes. I have been with my boyfriend for over four years now. We live together and share all bills, etc, but we do not want to get married. I think people who decide to have a relationship such as ours should be able to file together, because the only thing separating us from another couple is a marriage certificate.
    As long as it is the same for any other 'couple' that are living together, fair is fair... heterosexual and bisexual alike. Sure... why shouldn't it be. If both parties are committed together, share the same banking, and have been living together for ___ period of time... then why not? Again, it should be the same for heterosexual couples? Usually, the elderly do not get married, that are living together, because they each are collecting off of their deceased spouses' benefits...


    This state of Marriage is BS. A piece of paper should not be the requisite to deem two people as a couple or not a couple. Single people that are living together, making a home for themselves, should be allowed to file jointly, OR, make it the same tax break for singles as it is for married, and eliminate this BS as it should be!
    Absolutely. In fact, I am for people that have lived together for financial reasons for more then 3 years, regardless if they pounce each other in the bedroom to have the same rights insurance and tax wise. Times are hard, and the alternative is for more welfare circumstances.
    IRS has no control over that. It is a state's issue.





    Anyone is free to get married. You just cannot marry an animal, or a child, or your relative, or someone of the same sex.
    yes they are human beings and they work like you and me i think they should not be shuned because of their sexual preferenace. you are nuts to say no tothis. i mean hey remember you are human or did it escape you?
    Sounds good to me.


    As long as they pay taxes and don't frighten the horses I don't care WHAT couples of the same gender do.
    NO! But I am in favor of opposite sex being able to file joint. So many older people can't get married because they will lose money. That is one of the reasons people just live together. What a shame.
    No.





    The law does not allow it. If you want to change the law, go for it.
    Why not? Their tax dollars spend the same way.
    why doesn't the IRS marry itself and file its own joint tax return
    not in favor but if their a couple, we have no choice
    Yes.
    No.
    yes.
    Yes, and why not?

    How do you maintain two relationships?

    When you pass more time with your friends,your wife gets annoyed,again when you pass more time with your wife at home your friends will tease you.In such a stage what will you do?Please suggest..How do you maintain two relationships?
    We have to maintain right balance between the two. Never disappoint one for the sake of the other %26amp; we can do it, its never that hard if we wish.How do you maintain two relationships?
    First of all ';maintain'; word itself denotes that you want to put extra effort to keep both sides happy. This sounds that you are trying to satisfy both sides artificially.


    Just be yourself, if you love n care for somebody truly, you need not try to maintain that relation. A true Friend or companion always understand you inside-out and respects your compulsions. They do not


    want to disturb your one relation for the sake of other.


    So Enjoy your each relation without always thinking that it will disturb your other relation.
    OMG! Seriously? You seriously are asking this question as a MARRIED MAN!?! You choose your wife. You made a committment to her. You realized at one point that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with her. She is your priority, NOT your immature friends who sound like losers. Your family is always there for you, your friends will come and go.
    learn management or start taking tips on management. How a man manage the things is mgt.
    my hubby didnot maintain any relationship, instead he chose cricket lol....
    tell your friends to get over it she is first in your life now not them so they can get over it
    your wife comes first boo.
    you don't. whup-sha!!

    Do you think sex only relationships are a good idea?

    And is there any situations where it wouldn't be a good idea? Like with an ex or something? What if it's not an ex? what if you're not ';exclusive'; but agree not to screw other people?Do you think sex only relationships are a good idea?
    Only if it's agreeable to both sexes. It will be for most men. But just doing it with strangers, or some one night stand, isn't a good idea for many reasons, including S.I.Ds and AIDs etc.


    However, if you were close and intimate with someone and are still friends, and you aren't in another relationship, and still have strong sexual urges, you and your ex partner, may decide, to be Friends with Benefits. As long as both agree, it's more of a stop gap issue, and when you or your partner, find another significant other, the sex will no longer happen.Do you think sex only relationships are a good idea?
    if it is a sex only relationship, and you are not exclusive, they you shouldn't have to agree not to sleep with other people, just agree you are going to be honest with each other and be safe about it. sex with an ex is ok, as long as you are OVER him/her if you are not completely over them, you will end up getting hurt. but yea, sex only relationships are great, especially if you don't have time for a long term one or if you aren't ready to commit, just make sure you are safe about it.
    Well I don't know how old you are. If you are a adult it can be okay to have a friend in which you have relations with. In a relationship that is just friendship and sex you don't need rules or explanations. Just have fun when you are hanging out and if it happens it happens. If jealousy becomes a part it won't work. If you get to that point that is when you need to step back and decide if you want a relationship or not. Once jealously becomes a part the friends with benefits won't work. I had this with one of my best friends before I was married. I don't feel there was anything wrong with it. I am still glad that I had that experience. The only regret I have is not taking more advantage of it before I settled down. He was hot. LOL!!!!!!!!





    Love,

    How can you advise a person to stop being promiscuous & start believing in relationships?

    Unless they are ready to settle down it will be useless. It has to be at the individuals own free will.How can you advise a person to stop being promiscuous %26amp; start believing in relationships?
    The word RELATIONSHIP itself shows belief. So if there has been an understanding of two hearts and two minds with and understanding of love for one another then this is called a relationship,





    A RELATIONSHIP has many kinds.IT is there... so i think that you do not have to believe because you can call it a relationship because of the belief......so there is already belief because there is a relationship.How can you advise a person to stop being promiscuous %26amp; start believing in relationships?
    You can't change that behavior
    if the quality of their character directs them in this day of std's and aids to promiscuity,and if they have not the passion and compassion for a relationship based in love,but are only interested in the feel good of their groin then I wouldn't even try.
    Promiscuity does not by any means deny human relationships--you just have more of them!
    you can tell you you think and how you feel, but you can't force someone to stop if they don't want to.
    promiscuous is the big curse of gay life, at least for those who are looking for something more





    convincing a gay guy of this is not easy, maybe you just have to wait and let life teach the lessons, the emptiness is really spooky and when that is realized, change can happen





    being attracted to partner after partner after partner is a sign that sex with men is not meeting the real needs here and the guy has got to drag (not easy) himself away to start making real relationships with ordinary men





    none of this seems possible without a major life shift imo


    try google 'people can change'

    What do meals mean in relationships?

    Meals have a lot of meaning in relationships. My friends and I believe that serving breakfast to someone is associated with marriage, lunch with friends and other close relationships, and dinner with romantic relationships and celebration. We think that these associations apply primarily when dining alone with someone. What does it mean to you when someone asks you to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner with them?What do meals mean in relationships?
    I've never thought of it that way before but that seems kinda accurate.

  • What causes a 'fear' of relationships, and how do you get beyond it and deal with it?

    Every one of us, unconsciously, works out a personal philosophy of life, by which we are guided, inspired, and corrected, as time goes on. It is this philosophy by which we measure out our days, and by which we advertise to all about us the man, or woman, that we are. . . . It takes but a brief time to scent the life philosophy of anyone. It is defined in the conversation, in the look of the eye, and in the general mien of the person. It has no hiding place. It's like the perfume of the flower 鈥?unseen, but known almost instantly. It is the possession of the successful, and the happy. And it can be greatly embellished by the absorption of ideas and experiences of the useful of this earth.


    George MatthewAdamsWhat causes a 'fear' of relationships, and how do you get beyond it and deal with it?
    First, I think its important to make a distinction between one who fears relationships and one who lacks interests in relationships.





    The former desires relationships but feels incapable of forming and maintaining them with positive results, so they become self-loathing and lonely. I think this type of person has seen that relationships are something worth having but, somewhere in their experienced, has gotten the impression that they lack the right stuff to make relationships work.





    The latter simply doesn't desire relationships and so doesn't feel lonely without them. This type of person has proably seen mostly bad relationship models and so has gotten the impression that relationship are not worth having and lives life without pursuing or longing for them.What causes a 'fear' of relationships, and how do you get beyond it and deal with it?
    Most of our fears center around getting hurt in some way. The best way to deal with it is to know yourself as completely as you can. Analyze what makes you tick. Decide the kinds of people who add to your life and who put you down or cause you misery. There is a lot of checking to do.





    Next is to observe nature. Go outside and really observe all the little ways the many creations out there all work together. See how the ant exists crawling up a mighty oak. The oak does not swat the ant away and the ant does not try to chew its way inside. They accept each other for who they are.





    Getting to the point where you are knowledgeable and strong about yourself and accepting of others for who they are is the best way to deal with any kind of relationship. Each interaction is as unique as the beings involved.





    Blessings on your discoveries!
    The fear is caused by the fear to loose one's self in the relationship. The cause for that is the growing EGO in people. Ego is the intention so receive pleasure for one's self and only for himself.


    If you look at it more carefully you'll find out that this ego is the cause for every problem we have on this planet. This is because everybody think of nothing but themselves. Even those who are supposably doing things for the greater good - deep down inside they do it because they will gain more pleasure for themselves out of the action...





    The ways to deal with this ';problem'; are twofold


    One way is to suppress the ego - try meditations, Buddhism etc.. there is an infinite number of methods that will all tell you the same - the ego is the problem - 'become a plant' (reduce the ego level) and you'll live a peaceful life) - I have nothing against those methods, only, I've tried it but I wasn't able to keep it for long time. Why? Because the ego keeps growing and growing...


    The other alternative is to ask (as in demand) the one who made this ego (I mean, it must have come from somewhere - right?) to change \ fix it and thus bring peace to the world...


    This is the only way, because if we don't demand this change - the ego will grow and grow until we do...
    You must go through the fear to the other side to find it is an illusion and that there exists only love, not fear. You can't do it analytically.





    The illusion of fear we made up when we left God.

    It is difficult to solve a generic problem. A fear of heights is not a fear of heights, but a fear of falling and hurting one's self or worse. A fear of relationships is a fear of.....
    fear of getting hurt or hurting someone. or fear of screwing up. some people set themselves up for failure because they believe that they will fail before the even start. which is sad.


    some people think that they will feel trapt and loose their sense of self. stuff like that. there are many reasons. best you can do is talk to a professional.
    some people are scared of not being good enough for someone else. just understand that we all have flaws. try to emphasize ur better traits. dont advertise the negative ones to urself or ur love.

    Why is this inn relationships in high school?

    Ok it seems like the pretty girls and cute boys at my high school,cheat alot or can't last in a relationship?I mean one month ago I'll see them walkin with a boy or girl then after a couple weeks or so,I'll see them with a different person,I know their players but why do they do this?I mean is their anybody like me that take their relationship seriously?I mean not everybody does this but alot of people do.Why is this inn relationships in high school?
    Society as a whole is more interested in physical appearance then in intellectual prowess. This, however, will be its downfall considering the high rate of adultery and cheating. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and these people who run around and cheat are only cheating themselves. Their relationships have little to no substance to them. That is never good.Why is this inn relationships in high school?
    Most don't know what a relationship is or what it should be.They follow by example, mom or dad dates several people(divorced)and they can't find true stability.Teenagers are to young for a real relationship. Trust me I know.
    i hate to say it but im one of those people. the problem is that every time i have i boyfriend, he gets clingy, and lovey. and i end up cheating on him with his friend. then hes like 'babe its ok i still love you'. i just dont like commitment.
    not many kids these days are looking for a relationship. Good looking folks are cheap if u know wat i mean

    When girls have bad relationships with their fathers, HOW should they create their own self esteem/worth?

    How should they create a better future for themselves so that men do not take advantage of their low self esteem/vulnerability?When girls have bad relationships with their fathers, HOW should they create their own self esteem/worth?
    I went through this with my own father and spent a lot of time making bad choices b/c of bad self esteem. You can't just ';get over it and quit being a victim'; as Coqui said. Therapy can help as the person below him had mentioned. I couldn't afford therapy however so I found other ways to boost my self esteem. I stopped interacting with men who were users, losers and abusers and surrounded myself with friends and family who made me feel good about myself. I found hobbies and interests that I enjoyed and was really good at. I used the success I felt from participating in those activities to remind myself how much talent and value I had. I focused on work and school and did my best in both, which gave me a sense of pride and self worth. I also did a lot of positive thinking exercises where I spent time everyday telling myself how smart, talented, worthy and bautiful I was and that I deserved only the best. I told myself that the way my father treated me and the bad things that happened in my life are not a reflection of who I am as a person. I was kind to others and volunteered in my community which also made me feel good about myself and took better care of my health and body. Your mind is a very powerful thing and if you surround yourself with positivity and tell yourself positive things, you truly start to believe it and carry yourself in that way. Don't let your relationship with your Dad ruin your self esteem. You cannot control another person's actions, and it is not your fault that he treats you bad. Good luck!When girls have bad relationships with their fathers, HOW should they create their own self esteem/worth?
    you are a Beautiful woman . Intelligent, and understanding. don't forget the pops is always a grouch. still let him no you are not daddy's little girl
    Having a strong Mother who serves not only as a positive role model but that encourages her.
    Easy, Stop feeling like a victim. You are what you think you are and stop looking for a father figure to love.
    I really think these issues can only be dealt with through therapy, not just a few answers from Y!A.
    they can have a better relationship if their husband treats them good not like the way their dad did
