I’m being completely serious. I have “daddy issues” and I’m trying to heal them.

I‘ve worked really hard to get to where I am now and I’m supposed to be trying to build healthy, non-sexual relationships with safe older men like my uncles, teachers, grandfathers, etc. to sort of heal me and fill that void of not having a healthy father figure.

My uncles don’t want anything to do with me because my father was that bad, my grandfathers are dead, and I don’t have any male teachers. I’m really trying to build these platonic, healthy relationships but I literally have no one to fit the criteria.

How do I get rid of this yearning to have a figure like that in my life? It’s seriously effecting me.
