Woman with daddy issues?

[kurt_walker]

tell me, does this make sense to you? iv just been noticing a trend after the last few years...

 

Woman that are experiencing "Daddy Issues" from an absent farther,, we all understand that they reach out to men to fill that void created by an absent farther... but once the farther has returned back into their lives, iv noticed that they usually throw there husbands to the curb.. and when the relationship with there farther breaks down again they tend to run back to there husbands and so on and so on.. its a craze cycle of ether or... craze but noticeable..

 

I wonder why that is?

Throw their husbands to the curb??

 

How many examples have you personally witnessed?

 

I think there is such a thing as 'daddy issues' but I can't say I've ever witnessed nor heard of women who flip flop on their husbands quite the way you describe.

 

I'm curious where you're getting your data.

Is that the same as men with mommy issues.

I am in a marriage with the Queen - of daddy issues. Its been a painful marriage because of it.

 

I also raised a daughter (step) who had issues with her flawed biological father - it was also very difficult and caused grief.

 

But most daddy issues don't get resolved - ever.

Have to agree, my ex-wife grew up in a home with a largely absent and constantly cheating alcoholic father who found religion and eventually returned to the marital fold.

 

However, and trust me when I say this, the damage was already done. It takes a tremendous amount of introspection and willingness to work hard if one is to overcome extreme FOO issues. Most don't get there...

Women who have daddy issues mostly look for a deep emotional connection with a man, but it only lasts temporarily, because they do not have the ability to tolerate flaws and love beyond the initial passion.

 

Hence all the cheating, lying, dumping, manipulating that those women exhibit.

my daddy issues meant that rejecting men was second nature, recreating the absence, this feels normal, so only the really keen are trustworthy, i have had low condfidence too, but got better

 

but please do not think every older man is a substitute dad, they are just lecherous and looking for an excuse or reason....

At least not without professional therapy and a lot of hard work.

The idea of "daddy issues" has been co-opted by a lot of lonely guys online as well as the POA movement. Why not leave the understanding of this to the professionals and just try to get to know women on their own merits?

 

I think your theory that these women dump their husbands if their own father reappears in their lives is far fetched.

Yes. It helps but I still think its difficult to resolve completely.

 

I got both my wife and my daughter(step) into therapy - it helped but it was pushed by me. Its worn me down helping them. My wife still thinks adultery is "not that bad" because of her dad. However, I was overjoyed to hear my daughter went to see someone on her own last year while at college to deal with her dad issues and related BF issues. Perhaps she will resolve mostly as she is still young and has had help so far.
