anonymous Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 i think: because she has a stereotype of men - when u'r little, u think that all men/women are like your parents ... so to her, men are evil ppl with mistresses who leave their families ... she's gonna be distrustful of u for a while ... it'll take some time to show her that u r not like her father ... good luck =) Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted May 18, 2001 Share Posted May 18, 2001 People often replicate the general behavior in their family of origin. There are exceptions. For instance, if there was not a lot of affection expressed in a family, it's doubtful a person from that family will express affection later on. If someone grows up in a highly dysfunctional family environment, it's a pretty safe bet that will continue in their lives unless they receive a lot of education and therapy...and they have to be very open to that as well.
