Hello. I’m being very brave posting this here so pls be nice to me! As the title says, I don’t like my dad likes being a dad or husband. He gets upset very easily when corrected or told he made a mistake. Kind of like when my younger sibling refuses to speak to anyone when she is told she can’t eat sweets before dinner. My mum loves being a mother, but she is drained, and so my parents will be getting a divorce soon. I’ve realised now, I haven’t had a present father. I trust men too easily and I’m way too naive. I don’t know what I’m doing at all. Where and how do I begin on being a strong and independent girl? I know it sounds a little cringe, but I’m actually very jealous of people who have a father who can give them advice and help on day to day things. I’ve had to figure everything out on my own, including my career path and so on. My dad wanted me to take the first job (incredibly unsafe for women) instead of allowing me to explore what I enjoy… I just feel like I’m not worth anything either idk. (I’m working on my social anxiety btw by speaking to more people). submitted by /u/Fun-Exercise-4075
