Dating My Dad

Apple Dailey has captured the early life of Shelby. Shelby's father was described as an abusive father who systematically, over time, repeatedly told her that she was worthless and that the only reason he hit her or called her names was that it was better than coming from someone who didn't care about her. It became obvious to Shelby that abuse was caring. This message was internalized and became a catalyst for Shelby's future relationships.
