No wonder we have generations of boys running around pretending to be men. They have never learn't to be men.
Fathers are also important to their daughters, too.
I was so in love with my father - the ultimate Daddy's girl. When I was 10 my parents called us into the living room and there were Dad's bags all packed and ready to go. No preparation, just one day he was there and the next he was gone. The divorce was final in September and he remarried in December. I don't blame my life on my parents but I can see where my relationships with men have been terribly affected by this - probably not so much the divorce itself but the lack of him in my life afterwards.
