My step daughter who is 8 years old seems to be confused with her father's affection with her. She trys to be competitive in a sexual manner. She trys to expose her body to him when she is leaving the bath tub in not covering her bottom area. He has to tell her not to come out of the bathroom exposed everytime she goes in. One time he kissed her on the forehead and she returned the affection by placing her hand on his crouch. He told her not to do that again. When he told her that he was going to marry me, she asked him who was going to marry her. One night her and I were watching a cartoon movie. Two of the characters in the movie expressed an attraction for each other and I asked her how did she see them. She told me that they were in love and she smiled. I than asked her if she saw herself in this picture and she said yes. I asked her if she saw her father in the picture and she said yes. I than told her that these characters aren't father and daughter. Father and daughters don't love each other in that way. She has never seen her father and I intimate in anyway other than a kiss goodbye to each other. Why would my 8 year old step daughter seek her father in that way? What in her head would make her put her hand on his crouch? We both assumed she just saw her mother interact with a man in that manner or watched something on T.V. but her father has explained to her that, that kind of affection doesn't come from your father. But I don't believe it has changed anything for her. ↓
