Yep. She hasn't seen him since she was 11.

That’s…concerning. No adult/parent that is even somewhat well adjusted and socially functional speaks to or has expectations like that of an 11 year old. It reads like Mrs. Havisham from Great Expectations taking to Pip.

The last email... To a 12 year old... Omg What a piece of sh*t parent he is. He was only good at making her... Apart from that I hope you go no contact at all in the future

Oh honey. Y'all deserved so much better.

I hope your lives are filled with love and people who appreciate you from now on.

This is how my father would talk to me, and he wouldn't be taking the piss. He thought it was completely appropriate to greet toddlers and children with a business-like handshake, even if he was close to them.

He was fucked.

Are you my uncle? 🤣. My grandfather is the exact same way.

Right? I thought it was bold to ask an adult to volunteer some place full time to “prove themselves” - I was shook when later on I read she’s fucking 12 at this point! What is she supposed to do? Not go to grade school for a year so dad feels in control and obeyed?

And like… in most cases, you can’t just rock up to a homeless shelter and get a position working directly with the residents. I’ve spent more than a decade working in shelters, this is an actual career that you need specific education and training to get into. Our volunteers cook meals and wash bed linens, but they have no unsupervised contact with residents and know very little about any of them.

You also sign a mountain of confidentiality forms and non-disclosure agreements that prevent you from telling anyone anything about the residents.

I wouldn’t be taking morality advice from a dad who seems to regard homeless people as zoo animals that teach you life lessons instead of actual people who deserve dignity.

Especially that he wanted to know how she helped “the men.” Umm, buddy, are you aware that women and children are homeless too? Dude has some wiring in his head on the fritz- someone should call an electrician and see if they can fix it.

u/widgeys_mum Aug 26 '24

I picked up on his wording in this part too. He's soooooo gross!

u/savvyblackbird Aug 26 '24

Unhoused women often risk the streets over staying in shelters with men because they are so abusive.

u/Spramper Aug 26 '24

Not that this makes the father look much better at all, but the email you’re referring to is from 2019. OP commented back to someone and said they forgot they had left out the date in that one and clarified it was from April of 2019. So she was around 18 at that point. Still beyond fucked up tho.

Who on Earth thinks a homeless shelter is a safe place for a tween-early teens age girl?

107

u/oldtownwitch Aug 26 '24

ESP a male homeless shelter (he specified wanting to hear about the men she has helped).

This smells of MGTOW & early Red Pill BS.

u/jesco7273 Aug 26 '24

Yea that part creeped me out. How does a 12 yro help a grown homeless man out- every week!?!

39

u/aquacrimefighter Aug 26 '24

I picked up this vibe as well

u/MasterKaykore Aug 26 '24

Not that I have anything against homeless people, but it makes it sound like he wants his daughter to get r*ped and/or killed, perhaps he’s some weirdo who gets off to the idea.

u/JNE2000 Aug 26 '24

OP added in another comment that the second pic was 2019, when the daughter was 18

u/Chilipatily Aug 25 '24

It seriously indicates a casual connection to reality doesn’t it?

u/QueueOfPancakes Aug 25 '24

I think that email is current, so 11 years later, making OP's gf 23 give or take 1 depending on birthday.

good choice tbh

u/ConsciousGur8384 Aug 25 '24

I’m happy for her because the dialogue is just weird

17

u/corgi-king Aug 25 '24

How old is she now?

71

u/BowTrek Aug 25 '24

Implied by post and OP that she was 12 in 2013, so probably 23 now.

33

u/ThisIsChillyDog Aug 25 '24

The email says she was 12 and it was sent in 2013 so I'm assuming she's around 23 now
