Dr. Boyce Watkins asked this question on his Facebook page:
A friend of mine once said "If the woman you're dating hates her father, it is almost inevitable that she is going to find a reason to hate you too." Is that true?
Here were some of the responses:

LaDawn Sumpter-Fraser Almost true... she will find some of the same faults not on purpose but if he does anything close to what her father did or does... the hate will come out and comparison!!!!Speaking from experience!!!I've grown a lot from it but it happens!!!!

Mike Pace Not absolutely true. It is on a case by case basis. Some may hate their father due to lack of appearance and influence. And some may hate due to other mistreatments or even misunderstandings. Other external factors such as relationship with brothers, uncles, ex boyfriends, etc will most likely play a role. So it is tough to call.

LaDawn Sumpter-Fraser Boyce Imma say no to the hate him part because I'm married and it will just be a comparison thing and she will look to find if the husband or boyfriend will do anything close to what her father has done!!! Because she is trying to find the opposite to her dad!!!

This is a very timely discussion. The relationship between daughters
and fathers forms the basis for positive or negative relationships
between men and women. I disagree with this statement, however.

Beverly Knapp I think that is a very stereotypical comment. These types of generalizations do not add to progression.

Rodney A West Yes, it starts off as a trust issue, then the love airbag bursts. The father-daughter relationship is a critical element in the psychology of loving ALL of your woman.

Elijah Augustine I've found this to be true. It doesn't take very long in a relationship to figure out whether the woman had a good or bad relationship with her father. The difference to them being well adjusted in a relationship is like night and day.

Lori, I can personally relate to your discussion! In a real world,
children love and respect both parents. However, behind closed
doors in the big houses with the white fences, there is often
terror. Children of abusive parents carry the scar...See MoreYesterday at 12:26pm · Like ·

wow.......I think the woman will have trouble relating to a man properly if she has not dealt with any issues she has from childhood including father issues.
Hate is a strong word, so for her to hate the man who should be her first love mea...See MoreYesterday at 12:31pm · Like
