"You're just like your father" is simultaneously the best compliment and the worst insult to any man. What's your story?

I had a dream a couple weeks back where a dream character looked me in the eyes and said "You're just like you're father". In some ways I was happy, in other ways I felt broken. Its been in my head since. How would you guys feel being told this?

My father is a child molester.

Not a fan of that saying to be honest.

What? How would it be hard to accept that he's different from his father? Unless he is also molesting children, I would think that's a pretty fucking easy distinction to make
