Struggling with a difficult relationship with my father and family since childhood

My dad did the same.  I'm 52 and still so insecure.  Feel empty and alone.  Dont know how to deal with people 

Yeah i always have that feeling of everyone going to hurt me like he did and everyone in his family treated me the same way always defend him. his family was really messed up

My “Dad” doesn’t really deserve the title. He was a guy who dreamed of having a son his entire married life - but alas got only daughters! I was unplanned daughter #3.  But did that interfere with the love he had for his girls?? Oh yeah, majorly. He treated his son, my brother, as if his daughters didn’t even exist for the most part, but did assume we were there to wait on him if my mother wasn’t around. He also began touching me in that special way when I was about 15. What a guy! And what a mom for standing by!

my dad told me my job as a female i had obey men and be a mother
