A woman found unsettling childhood photos her father uploaded to a shared server, including sexualized images of women and a close-up of a family friend's cleavage at a child's party. The images triggered feelings of disgust and revived suspicions that he was a creep, undermining newly repaired trust. The presence of old sexualized photos and off-color comments suggests the need to assess whether behavior crossed lines or involved exploitation. The woman must prioritize emotional safety by discussing boundaries, possibly removing or restricting the photos, consulting siblings, considering professional support, and deciding whether confrontation or distance is necessary.
I'm a 28-year-old woman, and my dad and I have worked really hard to repair our relationship since he and my mom divorced about 14 years ago, and he began a new relationship (that overlapped with his marriage) and decided he had little interest in being a dad anymore. I have two little siblings, and he has truly bettered himself and been there for us as adults in a way he wasn't when we were still kids.
Dear Dad, Some photos concern me. For example, pictures of random women in bikinis at the pool on family beach vacations, pictures of my dad and more random women in the hot tub at my childhood home when we were presumably out of town with my mom, and close-up pictures of our family friend's cleavage at my little brother's birthday party. It makes me feel so gross, and I don't know what to do.
