Is my father flirting with me?

[ladyhawke707]

My father is not a "good" man. He was physical/ emotionally abusive to me, possibly sexually abusive to my older sister (she said so once but refused to ever talk about it again) and he was in and out of our lives our entire childhood. We usually only see him once a year at christmas. We grew up in a very rural (think white trash) area. He is now on wife number 3 and has a toddler with her. He just got facebook (and already has more friends than me) he found me on facebook and left an odd comment on my profile picture. He said "U R so beautiful princess, love U forever." then his wife said, as if she knew he was flirting, on my picture "She's beautiful on the inside." My whole childhood he never called be beautiful or princess or anything like that. It made me feel odd. I'm a young lady now and look just like my mother his first wife, who is quite girl next door pretty. Is my dad being inappropriate?

On that statement alone no, I would not think twice about saying it to my daughter, though given his history, I think you would be better blocking him

I'd say that comment was borderline inappropriate and I don't think he was flirting, but I can see why you would think that. I'm more concerned about your sister because it sounds like something did happen to her.

Since he's never said that to you before, I'd say it was somewhat uncalled for.
