How much of our relationship with our father do we bring into our adult relationships? |
 |
It is unbelievable how many women in my practice shape their relationships around their father. We all do. He is our first male love. It makes sense. Even if he was a bad dad, chances are he had good parts. He told you bedtime stories or paid for your school or came to your recital. If you are not able to resolve your relationship with him (maintaining lots of anger) you will find a husband who has some of his worst qualities, and if you can wrestle out your relationship you will find a husband with his best qualities. HOWEVER, they may be the same man. The same man will have the best and the worst of your dad. It's your second chance to work it out. |
