To young
females regarding father and daughter:
Your
relationship to your father supports you to create healthy relationships
with other men in your life.
If treasured
by your father you feel valued as a female. “One theme I see
is that I don’t have a father who has been a part of my life.
I’ve only recently been willing to have pain about that. Because
of his absence, there was no father who could say, “I see you,
you are my daughter.”
I
am seeing that in my relationships with guys I have a feeling
of not being recognised. I am not standing as a victim because
of this. It brings me to the questions that I need to be asking
about men and women. So I am thankful for that as part of my
biography and I know that’s a big part of the questions and
the work that I bring.” – Rachel (16) USA.
It’s
never too late to change your relationship to your father. Adolescence
gives you an opportunity to do that. Fathers Leaving It is hard
for children and teenagers to accept that fathers have left
them either physically or emotionally. Some teenagers have never
known what their dad looks like.
