It has the potential to do that, since the underlying issue is that I am mostly like my father and not her, and that isn't really going to change. It doesn't bother me, because it's just a fact, and I can still love people who are different than I am. (I'm also cool with the fact that my daughter is, even at this age, so clearly more like my husband, for example. Then again, I haven't gone through a painful divorce like she did, either.) I know it bothers her that I'm a daddy's girl. And while this conversation I might have with her would prove me less of a daddy's girl on this one particular issue, it would also force her to talk about and acknowledge the fact that, at the base of it, I still very much am one.
