Hi everyone,

I'm not being conceited but I'm only mentioning this so that u get a better idea to what my problem is

I'm 24 and I should say I'm just not an average looking girl, I get a lot of compliments from both men and women! I got a lot of offers by modelling agencies but my only problem is at my place of work men get scared to talk to me,some find it intimidating while some others don't want to talk to me because my dad doesn't have a clean past, he used to smuggle but this was over 24 years ago, he's doing well for himself is a good business man of the city and he has guards due to which men say that my dad is a gangster and they would get shot if they talk to me due to which I feel very lonely I don't have men flirting with me, a lot of men have told me that everyone's scared to talk to me..this has led me depression..I want to start fresh, move to a new city..I just want to get away! How do I cope with this? or what do I tell people who say these mean things to me?

Gauntlet agony auntWow, dear ! You're living a strange sort of hell ! May I ask you how people know you're linked to "that godfather" in the first place ? Is it common knowledge or what ?

Anyway, it's not so easy to live, for sure. I used to have a friend (girl) who was the owner's daughter of a large and famous department store. Everybody knew her family name even if she was herself not famous, and walking in the street was a torture as she heard unrestly her named pronounced, and she did not know if it was somebody yelling at her or just someone going to her father's shop.

Your case is 10 times worse, and as a man who do like so much being unknown, I compassionate from the bottom of my heart to your pain.

What has to be done to fix the situation ? If possible, changing of place, going where you too will be a (beautiful according to your say) girl like another one. That's usually the only way you will escape your curse. I don't advice you to flee to the other side of the earth, but sometimes, 15 kilometers away from a point is enough to change of world.

That said, if it's because of your work that you are identified as "the godfather's little princess", it's more difficult to live an anybody's life. But who said you had to meet your sweetheart among that people who stands around you ?

I don't know if it helps, but I send you two of my favorite musics to change your mind:

You should consider any legitimate modeling offers; which could lead to international travel. It also allows you a great deal of independence. Your father's reputation and influence into your personal life may not be a myth.

Why he would deny you happiness is strange. Unless you are naive and not much of a good judge of character; there may be a considerable amount of danger for you.

If your father earned such a notorious reputation, that still carries on until now. He may still bank on that reputation to some degree; because he maintains power and respect through what it stands for. He may have old enemies.

If you are getting sick from the depression, then you have to see a doctor about it. What advice could you possibly get here if it's a matter of family name and reputation?

You need to talk to your parents. Maybe they have a solution.
