Thanks mate I re edited my comment to put it all back incase it's helpful. And absolutely, gender can make a big difference to how a child is treated. It is kinda good that you don't know what you've missed. I get what you mean about childhood still haunting you, it's really hard to unlearn things we learned back then. Therapy can really help, it can change how we think... it's about self development not things being wrong with us
Thanks shades, didn't click about that. Really appreciate you pointing it out.
These are really valid questions! I'm a fiercely pro dad woman, and I'll try to answer. IME people's relationship with their dad tends to be different to their mom, they're two different roles and two different people. IME people tend to go to dad for practical stuff (financial advice, DIY, moving things etc) and mom for home based practical and lengthy emotional discussions. Dad will also do emotional stuff, but often different style eg pep talks. For protection stuff, IME people go to dad.
Yes I love and miss my dad very much. A good person accepts mistakes, no matter what their role. And you can always go to a good parent cos they're always safe.
I'm sorry you didnt get the dad all children deserve. Have you found !dadforaminute@lemmy.world People post when they need dad style advice or a hug.
Yep I'm neurodiverse I do that sometimes. Please don't comment on my symptoms in future, it isn't very nice for me. Thanks for understanding ♥️
Genius I love it
That's a lot of financial stress over your life and the sad truth is that life costs money. You need money to cope. Big age gaps cause a lot of difficulties cos you're in really different places, it's rough
Parentification of kids can be really destructive there's loads of research into it. It's especially destructive when it's against someone's consent, eg it can cause hostility between family members. How's it effected you long term?
Even if I brought my cats?
Haha yep my head canon too
