Mother vs. father complex?
Are there differences? How can you tell?
Should I tell my father that he was/is not a good father?
Hello, I'm 21 and I've never had a real father-daughter relationship. We barely speak, and to be honest, I barely know him. As a child, I was emotionally neglected; I had no contact with my mother, and my father was just there without really being present. For a long time, I thought it wouldn't bother…
Why do I cry during sex with my boyfriend?
hey, Yesterday, I got scared out of nowhere, and while I was sitting on my boyfriend, he looked me in the face and I started to cry. He asked me what was wrong, if it was because of my father, then I completely broke down. This is the very first time I've gone further with…
As a minor, 'daddy issues' are getting on my nerves?
Hey. I'm female and 15 years old. I have serious 'daddy issues.' At least, that's what I've come to after some self-reflection. More than anything else in the world, I crave love, guidance, and validation from an older man in a fatherly role. I've never felt any romantic or sexual attraction or desire toward people…
Do these have to be daddy issues?
Please read the entire text before you have an answer. So, I like dominant, older men and I'm only 15 myself. I did a test and it came out that I like age play 100% and am 100% a masochist (I hope that's spelled correctly). But I don't really understand it. Yes, my father is…
Is there a ‘family substitute’?
First of all: I don't mean foster families. Foster families are the ones where you leave your own home to live with them for a short time, right? I once heard from a friend that because he didn't have any grandparents, he got a "replacement" from some organization. He said you could sign up for…
Pathological addiction to father’s approval?
My sister is a few years younger than me. I was always independent and managed well on my own. I never needed our father. I never sought his love or approval. Why should I? He's a terrible person. Disgusting. My sister would love to crawl inside him just to please him. She is addicted to…
Is it strange to look for a father substitute?
My father used to beat me, and I was very afraid of him. He also didn't like me because he didn't want to have a mentally ill child, so he was always angry with me. And sometimes, when I watch TV, I imagine that's my father. Someone who loves me and with whom I feel…
Do porn actors have a father complex?
I heard that in a series once and of course you can't generalize, but what do you think about it?
Why am I attached to my boss?
I'm 20 and he's 50. So he could be my father, and I sometimes see him that way. But sometimes I also notice how good-looking he is and that I find him attractive, which isn't really what I want. Now he works abroad for the same company. He said we'll probably have some interaction and…
What can I do about my father complexes?
Hey, I've noticed recently that my father complexes are getting stronger and stronger. In the sense that I haven't had a father since I was 2, and even when I was very young (around 10-12), I oversexualized myself. I'm in therapy and all that, but I was also taken advantage of a lot back then….
What exactly are mommy/daddy issues?
I know what mommy/daddy issues are but what is the psychological background? How exactly do you recognize mommy or daddy issues in boys or girls and are there any differences? Thanks in advance
