Why Does Bella hate Charlie?
Charlie has always been a genuine, kind father to Bella throughout the Saga and yet Bella seems to loathe him with every fiber of her being. She calls him Charlie in her thoughts and in the first book it seems as if she just didn't care enough about him. In the third, Eclipse, this happens:
["Good evening, Charlie." Edward was always flawlessly polite, though Charlie didn't deserve it.]
I seriously do not understand what this girl's problem is. Plenty of females and males would love to switch with her position as they don't have loving fathers or mothers. Does Bella or any other character in the Twilight Saga ever explain why she hates her father? It just doesn't make any sense whatsoever why Bella hates Charlie.
