basically i’ve noticed a lot of people throwing around the term ‘daddy issues’ for a while now and would like to say it is not something that should be used lightly, personally i have experienced abuse from my own father for 5+ years in the past and...
it has severely affected my mental health/has caused a lot of trauma for me, still affecting me badly to this day, and seeing people say they have ‘daddy issues’ just because of the stereotype about being attracted to toxic, violent, or psychopathic men in...
shows/film can be very triggering for some people, and from my perspective it is very annoying because the affects of any abuse should not be put into such a insensitive label like ‘daddy issues’ and i know it may not seem like anything important or a big deal but maybe...
this can educate at least a few ppl to be more careful because you never know what people have gone through outside of these screens, i know i absolutely hate talking about my experiences because it brings back a lot of triggering memories but i felt the need to address this...
and additionally this creates the idea that ‘daddy issues’ and toxic relationships in general are something to be romanticized, and before anyone tries to attack me this thread is NOT to cancel anyone it is just something i think should be a mature discussion...
the same goes for ‘mommy issues’ but i won’t get into that as i haven’t dealt with that personally therefore it is not my place to go into depth about...
most importantly this is NOT something to be romanticized or fetishized about, it isn’t some cute trendy aesthetic to have, it is an actual problem that more people than you think face around the world, so please do not ‘wish’ to have ‘daddy issues’ because it is very ignorant...
so in conclusion just please be careful when using these terms as they can be harmful and upsetting to others !! (this is not aimed at anyone here it is just something i wanted to talk about ty)
if you are experiencing any sort of abuse please reach out to someone, your feelings matter and are so valid !! thank you for spending the time to read this if you have <3 my dms are always open if anyone wants to rant/talk
