So.. I hate saying it, but I have daddy issues.. my father was a severe alcoholic my whole life, and BEAT my mom. My brothers and I often witnessed the violence. Now, as an adult, daddy issues have gotten in the way of my relationship with my brothers. Because of witnessing the violence, I became extremely uncomfortable and sometimes fearful of men, my brothers are all men now, so I think I associate men with violence. I try not to, but it’s automatic. I want a relationship with my brothers again, but because of my damn issues I can’t. I want my family... :’(
