Problems dating fatherless daughters?

[@Vision-dd8fl]

Unfortunately fatherless daughters often seek that masculine male energy/protection from men at a very early age. They become Sexualy active at a very young age often.. by the time you meet her, she is likely to have collected a bunch of trauma, disappointment in men, depression and anxiety.. Yes you can marry a girl like this, but be prepared for a toxic mess.. You can show all the love you want, however most don't know how to deal with a man who genuinely loves them, they are often only used to toxic men.. I tried the loving her and trying to be there for her.. all i got was verbal abuse, and toxicity.. High body count also suggests that she will not be able to deeply pair bond with you and is more likely to leave you. There is lots of data to prove the link between high body count and women walking away from relationships easily

[@janahcoaching]

Thank you for your comment. Yes, fatherlessness in women even has worse consequences than for men.

[@trur0mant1c]

What does high body count mean?

[@giveupndie4559]

She just explained to your dumb dumb ahh how you shouldn’t generalize women with daddy issues because not every woman is toxic, your ONE ex was one of the broken ones. But seems like you’re just bitter, good for her now that she can find a better suited man

[@samanthaq.3691]

@@lukebaehr3851 Understand that it's not because they dismiss it, but are very critical about it. What is wisdom when it has failed them from their father? If a man tells their fatherless woman they will not leave them yet the woman has seen their father leave them, how can she truly trust her partner will honestly never abandon her? Wisdom is forever and factual, when it's not it's just lies.

[@janahcoaching]

Learned behavior plays a big part in the life of a fatherless woman. If you have an abandonment wound and that wound is not healed, she will always go for men who will abandon her, or will always fear that, no matter how stable the guy is.

[@nadinehertig1039]

Thank you for your video. Those who think that a “Fatherless girl” is like an ET, please remind that there is no perfect family: even the families with mummy and daddy are mostly dysfunctional. War between the parents, parents that hit the kids or abuse them emotionally, parents that use drugs, alcohol … Even though your father/mother is present, it might be like if he/she was absent. Even your family that you might think is so “perfect” hides its problems, so don’t be so fast in judging… And what about the “fatherless or motherless” boys, those who are skeptical in dating a “fatherless girl”? What are their issues?

[@janahcoaching]

Of course no family is perfect. What we can go with though, are the general numbers and facts. And the facts show that on average, kids raised by both parents in a nuclear family do way better, are better socially and emotionally adjusted and suffer less from certain illnesses like depression, addiction, etc.

[@dresjos]

As a boyfriend I am more than willing to take responsability and provide all the support needed. My question is, is it possible for the fatherless daughter to also take responsability and work in herself? Cause a boyfriend may give all the support they can, however it works both ways in other words, the effort may be manifested in different ways and I agree. Thank you

[@janahcoaching]

Thank you for commenting. Actually as a boyfriend of a fatherless woman, you don't have to take responsibility. She needs to be the one open and willing to do the work and if necessary, get some special help and guidance from somebody who knows exactly what it takes to heal and break the cycle. You can support her, you can tell her you understand it might be hard sometimes for her but you, are not responsible for her happiness, you can only contribute to it. But if you are a team, she needs to understand that you will not always be the one taking whatever she throws at you, or the one owing her any understanding. To support and love is one thing, to pay for her trauma or past, another one very different. If she wants to talk to me I'm open to it, I talk to fatherless daughters very often who want to heal and learn how to not affect their loved ones negatively with their own problems, caused by fatherlessness.

[@dresjos]

There is a huge difference if exists a father like person or father is completely missing or father was pussified by mother. The last case is truly the worst case.

[@Vision-dd8fl]

You are stupid to try and fix a broken person

[@laurafaraj]

People here are talking about women without a father as some kind of disease. What if the mother stayed with the abusive father and she grew up with an abusive father? I thank God my mother did what she did. I can't imagine what I would be like if my mother wasn't brave enough to ensure me and my brother didn't have an abusive man in our house. Fatherless daughters may have super powers due to the fact they had to be so introspective and seek therapy, committed to working on themselves and turn out better than what they had done living with a dysfunctional father. I think the people commenting here are wounded men!

[@janahcoaching]

When I speak about fatherlessness being a problem, I mean just not having your father in your life. I am not speaking of abusive fathers being good for children in any way. The thing is, even if you have an abusive father and you are better off without his presence, you do MISS out on not having the father figure in your life that you should have had. The reason why your Dad isn't there, doesn't really matte if we look at the statistics. Fatherlessness is bad, no matter why he isn't there.

[@farilevan884]

I’m crying because for years I’ve dealt with an incredible amount of bullsh*t from a woman so I could be there in my daughters life as well as my son and step son. So many time’s listening to her garbage for the sole purpose of being able to kiss these kids good night, tell them they are smart, randomly bring home flowers for my daughter, tell her she is beautiful, take my sons to hockey games. It’s ridiculous that we have to be punished because of another adult’s insecurities just so we can try to keep doing the right thing for our kids.

[@janahcoaching]

I'm sorry this made you cry. I know all too well how terrible those situations get. Fathers who make it out of these problems alive, are heroes.

[@ashmi3980]

Good thoughts of you. But I am fatherless daughter and I don’t fear abandonment as I think if I could survive being abandoned when I could do nothing, now I can do anything that I want. So message to fatherless women, you can do anything if you put yourself and be happy If you find a good husband, that’s just a cherry on top But the important thing is you ladies with no fathers and making their lives up.

Not all fatherless daughters have psychological problems, but unfortunately, many of them end up with depression, eating disorders and even personality disorders (Cluster B). Not being willing to put up with someone with such problems has nothing to do with selfishness as so many people claim. It's about self-protection. Your own mental health is important.

[@janahcoaching]

I do agree. We all have the right to make certain choices.

[@Vision-dd8fl]

I dated a fatherless girl.. this is what I learned.. I tried my best to treat her with love, however the love was often perceived as weaknesses.. I dealt with game playing, chit testing, incidents where she got drunk & disappeared for the night.. She had loads of male friends, one night we had an argument and she called an ex to come pick her up. She was often aggressive, didn't like boundaries, hated being told what to do.. Lots of tattoos.. Had sex with with 12 men at the age 24... Do not listen to this lady.. it's not worth risking your mental health trying to heal a person like this.

[@ellobo3175]

@@Vision-dd8fl I'm not a psychologist, but I would bet some good money that this woman had borderline personality disorder. Especially, the aggressive nature and high number of tattoos gave it away. The last fatherless woman I dealt with was very similar (also many tattoos). But in my case, she was a full-fledged narcissist. These people need help, but they seldom, almost never want it. You can't save them. They don't want to be saved. These people are beyond any rational thinking. After that experience, I swore to never ignore obvious red flags again. I hope you're in a healthy relationship now, or that you're happy single. Good luck to you, man!

I’m not sure I can agree with it’s good to date/marry a woman that doesn’t have a dad, or has daddy issues. I tell guys don’t get with a female that has daddy issues, they are prone to being promiscuous. That’s another thing all together. Don’t get me wrong, I do understand that stuff happens dad may have passed away early in the child’s life, divorce and other things. Husbands or boyfriends shouldn’t have to “raise” her or take on any of the roles that her father should have done.

[@janahcoaching]

I actually think that it is always a risk, to date a lady who did not have a father or has a very bad relationship with him. You need to look at the lady and ask certain questions, see how she operates on a daily basis and how well she actually can handle relationships. Not everyone is the same, but I totally understand that some men will not entertain the idea.

This woman who is giving advice about what fathers do is clueless. I raised a nuclear family and have excellent relations with my children, and I can tell you that fathers lead by example. There are no shortcuts or magical words about what my daughter deserved. That sounds like a single mother talking. Fathers walk the walk with their children, and it takes 18 years of that to raise a child.

It is true, as a fatherless daughter there is a "cup" that was never filled with the love and attention that your father should have given you, and it is not easy to fully understand that and heal from it. But it is possible. I have worked with fatherless daughters before who did not want to repeat the pattern, or had difficulty bonding with a man. Have you ever had any help to deal with this?

[@cryptojihadi265]

Be glad you didn't have a father telling you, you deserve ONLY the BEST! That's absurd. That's a great way to create an entitled narcissistic woman. That is the problem with most modern women. They've been told that BS, under the guise of the self-esteem movement. Yes, your dad should tell you your beautiful, and intelligent (if you are), but this idea of telling girls they are perfect just the way they are and they DESERVE only the BEST, has created the delusional monsters we see today. Encourage your daughters to develop character and acknowledge when they do well. Let them know not to accept ILL treatment, but in no way should you tell ANYONE they DESERVE the BEST!

[@janahcoaching]

When I speak of validation from Dad, I don't mean praising your daughter all day for nothing or telling her she is a princess. I mean genuine love, care and validation. These are healthy things and feedback a father should give his daughter, if he doesn't want her to go look for that outside the home, and with the wrong guys.

[@ricklewis7947]

I'd be concerned that they couldn't relate to or respect men. Also that she might look for affirmation from other men and thus not be loyal.

[@janahcoaching]

Yes, trust issues and the inability to fully trust and cooperate are very common among fatherless daughters. Also the fear of abandonment.

[@G4nda1f]

Indeed. All very valid concerns. As a Christian it is my deeply held stance that people are not disposable and should not be abandoned. But a successful, lifelong marriage is not a simple or easy thing. So for someone who greatly values a successful, lifelong marriage I would prefer a woman who does not have such a background, since such hangups truly are (or at least can be) a weakness in the marriage. Not insurmountable, but life and marriage is difficult enough without any additional difficulties. But I must also say that as a Christian, my God is one of second chances so she's not a lost cause. For instance, one example I can think of along these lines is Crissy Moran (now Crissy Outlaw). She was a pornstar but she got out in 2006 suffering deeply from low self worth issues. But she became a Christian and has been married since 2013.

[@hollyleavves]

Children don't choose their parents. It's important to not get too absorbed by statistics and see the person on the other side of the rift. Don't you think healthy households can easily become toxic in the blink of an eye? People can change their minds at any moment. Their affective needs may not be met overtime. Lots of happy marriages can quickly sour up if both parts never developed the tools to afront their problems head on. What qualifies as a healthy upbringing to you? Every family has problems, deep inside. Some may be better at hiding their ugly truths. It's gotten to the point were people who believe they are 100% in the right need more advice than anyone else in the family. Communication is key in every kind of relationship. A family with both parents present doesn't automatically mean they are perfect. Someone who didn't have the happiest of childhoods can heal and grow. These are no longer the medieval times to accept our fates as such. We have developed critical thought. We can be a little more empathetic towards other human beings. "The death of a man is a tragedy. The death of a million, a statistic".
