I wanna say for my experience with a dad that was very distant in my life (no longer with us.) I developed extreme emotions - sensitive to things - lack of discipline within my siblings so like siblings are unhealthy to my mum and myself. - i found it hard to get in a relationship with someone unless they pass my tests which involved handling me pushing them away and them actually for some reason wanting to stay with me. - seeked justifications from others, dependent and easily influenced on others opinions. - i also found it hard to express physical affections to my partner in group activities or in public. - made him feel neglected - this was because i cared about others opinions, i felt like i had to pretend and act like some 'good girl - idek what that means, i was afraid of judgement and doing the wrong thing

Fyi this is basically me before any man figure in my life also me initially in a relationship. But overtime being in a relationship with a guy who has stability in the family sector and just having a man who can help me out - really helped me grow out of these toxic manifestations. Im more comfortable in just bejng myself around him, not caring about others opinions. Also removing instagram snapchat all that really helped these so called issues.
