Open Letter To Dads! Re - Daddy Issues
Many females who grew up with the absence of their father in their life, or grew up with an emotionally unavailable dad, or an abusive father, end up with what is called “ daddy issues”. Daddy issues refer to how a dysfunctional father-daughter relationship affects a female in adulthood. This situation impact girls or women differently. Some girls/women become overly attached to men, while some become very distant from men. This over-attachment or over-detachment can have blowback on females. In the former, such females become so glued to men and so dependent on men, even in cases of abuse; their craving for a masculine presence can blind them to the infirmities of that relationship. In the latter case, such females become literally scared of men. They’re afraid to get into relationships because they’re wary of getting hurt by men, some end up hating men and eventually tag themselves as “feminists” (which isn’t what feminism represents). Some might also become h0m0sexual. Dadd
