Still dodging parts of posts, too. I don't like this avoidance tactic.
Also, it's pretty natural to have a negative opinion of an starfish.
On top of this, this is dependent on OP not taking things at face value either, and he has shown himself to be strongly convinced that abuse is what's going on between his GF and her father.
Again, willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, under the assumption that he fully knows what's going on.
