What’s the hardest part about navigating life with daddy issues or having an absent abusive father when growing up?

1. The therapy bill.

2. Having problems with trusting people and entering into relationships

3. Trusting yourself / loving yourself, basically choosing yourself over any guy with emotional constipation 😐

   fuck its hard to just chill

4. You end up accepting a lot less because you don’t feel worthy of being a priority to anyone. I’m 32 now and still trying to figure it out. Like your rational mind knows it’s not your fault, but you’re still left feeling like the problem is you.

5. I can not really take criticism from men I don’t know very well and have a ton of respect for. Women I met for the first time telling me I should get my head out of my ass and start changing something…totaly fine.

   Also, if your feedback is longer than 3 sentences I get annoyed.

   My dad used to be overly critic and 90% of the time I asked for advice I would be treated to a 1h sermon.

   Papa don’t preach was the hymn of my youth 😅

6. Accepting that some people realise too late they should of never had children.

   Can hate all my life, won’t change anything and accepting I won’t get an answer to “why me” cos…life
