I don't really know where to begin.. also I'm a bit drunk and trying to get my thoughts straight. I'm talking about how parental relationships fuck people up.
My mum never liked me, made me believe I wasn't normal, and was cruel, violent and bitter, slapping me round the face regularly ..Whereas my dad loved me too much, it was uncomfortable. But my mum made me angry and then my dad shut down my anger. Anger was not allowed EVER so I repressed my rage and got it out of me in other ways.
THEN in my early teens my dad had an affair behind my mums back for a couple of years and at the same time it was like his love for me vanished too. I still think it was he stopped loving me at that point. My mum and me were in the house all the time alone hating one another.
Age 15 I started getting attention from boys. This is why this is NSFW. I'm sorry I know sex is a taboo subject here. But I'm getting it out the only place I feel safe to do so.
So 15 saw me doing things like giving an older boy a BJ in a park first date, and going to pubs and making out with a different guy each night..16 I worked in a museum and once ended up wanking off a 24 yr old coach driver who i had met 5 mins previously (who had driven tourists there..) in the garden of the museum… but why????? It was like getting male attention was a success in some way??? I went out with so many older men.. the oldest one I had a thing with was 45, but others were 30, 32 etc. All when I was 16. I had 3 husbands, various fiancés etc in later years.
In recent years my dad has been unkind, unsupportive.. when my ex beat me regularly my dad's comment was 'well Emma could test the patience of a saint' he didn't care. I told him I was going to kill myself a few years ago and he didn't even answer the message 😢 . I escaped from the pain into drama and risk, self harm, alcohol, coke (not any more) and ill judged romances with dangerous people.
My therapy last year got ruined by my relationship with a guy in therapy with me. He was older than me and clever the way my dad is. ..I finally saw WHY I DO THESE THINGS because my psychotherapist told me the guy represented my dad to me, older, sort of wise etc. it was uncomfortable but I realised it was true. I've fucking sought attention from men all my fucking life.
Now my dad is ill and has recurring cancer, copd, heart failure. And I've realised my relationship with him has fucked my whole life up! And that I do love him more than I knew and I think he's going to die soon.
Behind every incident of me behaving like a 'slut' is the girl wanting to have value and be loved.
I'm part way through evaluating this about myself. I need way more therapy to sort it out. But since the guy at therapy last year, and since my therapist told me why this is my pattern, I've not got into anything inappropriate with anyone else. My husband is amazing about it, we literally joke about the stupid shit I've done in the past. (We even joke about how many people I sent tit pics to. I think literally 3 men on this site have seen them! ) I'm so lucky to have that understanding I think it's incredibly rare.
So.. yes. Just wanted to share that. I don't even have anything profound to say at the end of that speech.
Ugh.. oversharing when drunk. It's the worst.

I bet a vast majority of people here are due to family relationship issues. in one way or other I think the root of it very well is their chidhood or their partners childhood. thanks for sharing, it was nice to read about your story

It's very insightful to be able to draw the link between childhood attachment and adult experiences. I had 2 freak sisters and 2 freak parents, so it would be a long post if I were to describe how each of them screwed me up. I'm glad you were able to achieve a healthy relationship in the end at least.

Maybe you should post about it sometime? One thing I've noticed about SS is the long posts do actually get read.. people have time for one another.
Me and my dad don't exactly have a healthy relationship.. it's just I decided to put aside my feelings because he's old and ill now.
I do want to add a couple of things now reading this next morning and sober..
1 - I think the older men when I was 15/ 16 were massively at fault. How they thought it was ok to have sexual favours from a vulnerable child? One of my kids is 15 so maybe this memory touches a particular nerve right now.
I've posted about this guy before but the 45 yr old turned out to be an actual paedophile.
2 - This is NOT an anti men post. I love men.. (clearly!) I get on with men better than women. I find women quite intimidating in fact.
3 - I'm not ashamed of sharing this.. sex is a taboo subject I realise, especially here, but what you do in this regard says so much about your mental health.. especially when you use sex as self harm, or to get attention you desperately need.

These are all classic signs of Father abandonment issues.
Especially wanting lots of sex, especially with older men.
( Please tell me I'm out of order in saying this ).

I'm glad you posted this and got it out of your system somewhat.
It took courage to do this.
I doubt anyone here will judge you, especially me.

You're not out of order in anything you say ever! You're a beautiful person inside and out xxxxxxx
AND I want to say for the record how different you are from any of the men of my past. People like you help me to understand how to build healthy friendships xxx

Oops, I've been doing sasu wrong, hehe! It's funny, we're not supposed to blab about our actual job-work (sometimes because of NDAs) nor relationship-intimacy

I'm glad you landed (what the manosphere calls) a high quality guy: kind, humorous, accepts you deeply! tbh I'd like to know more about him, why he's the way he is

The part about boinking people is just you spreading pleasure around. I just hope you didn't get too many scars

Maybe some guys had their hearts b0rken, but they can post their own damn threads if they want sympathy; they're not our concern here 😛

He's the complete opposite to me..in every way. He has slept with 2 people in his life, me and his ex wife. We are the only 2 people he's even kissed!
He's a businessy sort of person, vice-president of a US based software company. Whereas my current job is as an admin for a sexting company 😆 honestly this is actually true! I get 10p per sexy message I send..
We are chalk and cheese in every single way but I think that makes such a spark and fascination. We've been together 12 years this year xx

It is such a heartwarming post to read here in SS. with all the past burden you are an example of things working out and having a full life. I am so happy for you. I wish more folks find their path to peace this way.

Something like this is what I ever wanted, but now I know not many doors are left for me to open and explore. And I am glad for SS while I figure things out.
