Why do you keep interjecting on Odeon's behalf? Have not been able to figure it. Does he remind you of your Dad or something and you are trying to make up with him? Or is it that I remind you of Dad and you are rebelling against me? Either way it seems a little too personal and a little too consistent. A young woman interjecting herself again and again in too older men's argument.
One generally rebels against authority. You are about as far removed from a figure of authority as it's possible to be
I would not have you as a daughter or a surrogate daughter.
What would you do if your daughter developed the traits that you so dislike in me?
She wouldn't. She isn't broken
It's kinda funny. You brought up the possibility of you reminding me of my dad, and it's true, you do to a certain extent.
He was prepared to lose his daughter, because he couldn't handle the fact that I took certain life choices that he strongly disapproved of. He lost a daughter, and eventually a second daughter, because we were not the daughters he wanted us to be.
So, what do you do if your daughter stops becoming the daughter you want her to be, or to use your words, "breaks?" She must be in her mid teens now. The kind of age these things are likely to happen.
Is she only your daughter for as long as she meets your approval?
Yes, as I say, you do remind me of my dad. He had his good sides, but ultimately his arrogance and know-it-all behaviour made him a truly awful parent. He was really broken.
I really wish your daughter all the luck in the world, and fuck, it seems she's going to need it. I hope she is brave enough to tread her own path in life, even if that makes her "broken" in her fathers eyes.
