SA
I don’t want to talk much about this topic. But why do I think so fondly of my father? Even if he didn’t SA me, he definitely beat me a lot. And yet I like him much more than my mom. In fact, the person I have the second strongest attachment to is basically my father (just behind my little brother).

My dad and I have a complicated relationship. I adored him and loved him too, he was abusive (emotionally, not physically or sexually to me but he was to my siblings), he isnt a good person to me or to my mom or step mom. I helped a lot of kids with shitty parents who still loved their parents.
That’s all programmed deep into anyone neurologically and biologically. Plus the abuse cycle works HARD on people. If he was love bombing, then abusive, then love bombing, etc it reprograms your brain and makes it hard to have a healthy attachment with boundaries. Because that love bombing part feels very very good. You dont have to talk about anything about him, but its not surprising to have a tension between what your head knows and your heart is feeling with parents.
