To The women with father issues
I decided to take this time and speak to you and give you a close up look at how having father issues affected you in everything that you do. I've examined and torn apart my own past. I've uncovered things that left me, you know, with fear of being unloved, which reduced my ability to develop my own unique identity to move forward with a healthy me. Let's see. You might have father issues if your relationships with your father was not healthy

Hey, just stumbled upon your swell and listened to it. And I really appreciate you bringing this up and being so vulnerable with what you share. I think it's important to talk about this stuff, and I think a lot of people will be glad to share. The more we talk about this stuff, the easier it gets to deal with, I think. So. Thank you for opening it up, and welcome to swell. Let me know if you have any questions about the app or anything

So I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say, you know, how you're going to share on this topic. It's a great, great topic. My parents were divorced when I was young. My dad was in the picture, but he was, I don't know, emotionally unavailable, also an alcoholic, a hard worker. He replaced my mom fairly quickly with a stepmother, and that stepmother had ideas about parenting. And my father, you know, absent father

They haven't understood that because of a certain behavior that I have, it is literally connected to my father. So the next thing I'm going to touch on is the impact on relationships and friendships and, you know, how does that play a part in your life? And, like, do you, have you ever seen these things, you know, happen? And, like, the questions that I bring up, maybe you have some of your own questions

I just recently started going into how my father's behavior affected who I am or who I was because I am growing from the hurt little girl that I carried with me for so long. I didn't realize the extent of hurt and trauma and wound that my father's words and actions inflicted upon me. Until, I would say, last year, I had gone through a very traumatic relationship
