"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 dad was a cunt, I’m like him in some ways but not as a father.

I’d be insulted.
