Comment on So you grew up with a dad who didn’t know how to express love? Here’s how it could be affecting you today (part 2) by Em.
Thank-you so much for writing this article. I seem to be amongst many who feel like I’ve never been good enough for my dad. Without going in to the ins and outs he has caused me so many issues, I feel worthless and have very low self esteem. I have relationship problems with my husband and son and I feel so desperately in need of healing. How can I move on? My dad is in his 70’s and still as bitter as ever, unlikely to ever change so dealing with the issues with him is just not an option. He is stubbourn, opinionated and stuck in his ways, totally incapable of accepting any responsibility. I lost my mum as a child too so feel like I have never had anybody. I know this is all the reason I have so many emotional issues but I still can’t move on and heal. I’m worried it’s affecting my relationship and parenting of my sons. How can I move on?
