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 by JJ.
This article has really opened my eyes. For years both me and my sister had a vacant and verbally abusive father. We’re both older now but both suffer with anxiety and depression, we have always wondered why we are like this. My dad was alot harder on my sister, maybe because she’s the oldest and now she has very few friends and can’t hold down a relationship. I feel so bad for her. Luckily i have managed to find someone but he so reminds me of my father sometimes. I really hope he doesn’t turn out like him especially if we have children in the future. The sad thing is my dad lost his dad at a young age and clearly had no idea what he was doing, to this day he still doesn’t realise what he put us through! I hope young fathers take the time to read something like this. It’s so important.
