usually when we see anything that we don't like or hate, it's a reflection of not completely accpeting ourselves. we have to find compassion, love, and peace within our own hearts for ourselves, before we can ever feel that in other selves. the girl is definitely there for a reason. i would guess she's in your life to serve as a catalyst for you to learn something. all i can say is reflect on what it is you are meant to get out of this situation.

i completely understand where you are coming from, as my step-father and i don't have the greatest relationship still. i used to not be able to stand him when i was younger. in my situation it did require some turmoil before things got better. today, things are better between us as i have learned to accept him and try to love him as much as i can. if he was never in my life, i wouldn't have my 2 beautiful siblings today.

peace be with you.
