In 2008, my dad hated Obama, so I hated Obama.

In 2012, my dad hated lgbtq people, so I hated lgbtq people.

In 2016, my dad loved donald, so I liked donald.

In 2017, my dad was pro-life, so I was pro-life.

In 2018, my dad hated women's autonomy and right to vote, so I began arguing back.

In 2019 my best friend was raped. The assailant (an ex) demanded she keep it. He was 18. She was 14.

so I was pro-choice. because if it had happened today, she would've had to travel over 300 miles to get the Healthcare she needed.

In 2020, my dad was deep in the maga cult, and heavily influenced by covid disinformation, becoming volatile and aggressive. So I moved out, and voted for Biden.

In 2024, my dad still loves donald, and I voted for Kamala Harris. 💙

I spent my entire childhood in a christisn maga cult, but I left, because I knew it was wrong. Lesson learned, I deconstructed, became more independent, and realized the absurdity of his bigotry, which was hard in a homeschool baptist kjv bible bubble, angry, closeted, and alone.

For the daughter's, living with insecure, angry men, I'm sorry. And you can be free from it.

everything is worse now.

Dear men,

Instead of shaming girls with daddy issues, try being better fathers to your daughters.

Romantisized Daddy issues/father complex.

No, daddy issues isn't liking to call someone 'daddy' in Bed, thats a kink and not a issue.

The father complex is a trauma response, so please stop romantisizing it out of respect.

Its much more than the liking in older men.

There are 3 Types:

Fearful - avoidant means that affected people avoid getting close to anyone. If they are in a relationship, they tend to run away from challenges. They struggle with intimacy.

Anxious - preoccupied means that affected ones are scared to be left, ofting causing relationship anxiety. Its common that they are really clingy and feel unsettled if they aren't with their partner.

Dismissive - avoidant means that affected ones have heavy trust issues, avoiding conservations and being scared of getting hurt again or to depend on anyone else than themselve.

Lets go over to common symptoms, the type of a father complex clearly depends on the symptoms.

Possessiveness & clingy behaviour.

Overabundance of love & assurance.

Using Sex to feel loved.

Dating (older) men that make you feel protected.

Being afraid to be alone. > jumping from one relationship into another.

Choosing repetitively abusive men.

Attachment issues.

Being afraid to be vulnerable.

Trust issues.

Not setting boundaries because you're scared they will leave if you say "no."

Idealizing your partner.

the father complex often comes with..

Depression

Persistent anger issues

Low self-esteem

Worry

Anxiety

The father complex is treatable, search for a therapist and analyse your struggles. If your partner is okay with that, maybe even consider couple therapy.

Deciding Embers Vol.4, 12.24.23 “Familiar Fatigue”

I am not your sacrificial lamb So that civil peace, kept by civil hands May be upheld, not for the sake of justice served, But as civil appearance – mild-mannered at best– demands I am not your confessional booth You catholic raised, nun-knuckle-rapped apostate Blaspheme and scream against my deadened eyes I will not rise to be your savior, the progenitor of your estate What will you, have you, shall you remember Only moments in recollections’ distorted reflection Oh, how the young babe has grown I am your grandfather's grandchild, his struggles too are mine; are one Abandon all pretense, ye who enter here Near and dear to my heart, have I forsaken thee As you have forgotten, abandoned what present lay before you An illusion is all you shall ever seem to see Must you seek the obedience of calm perceptions Father, what holy spirit has possessed you in past Linger no longer for this son, no longer distraught, instructed or taught Childhood’s innocence is not a thing built well to last
