I’ve heard a lot about “daddy/mommy issues”, but what are those issues and how are they developed?
In: Other
Your parents are the most important developmental figures in your life. Knowing or not, you will seek out approval from “mom and dad” or other stand ins (coach / aunt and uncle / friends parents)
As you age up; the need for approval or relationship with this figurehead remains.
If you can not find a suitable standin who also reciprocates your needs of the “relationship” you can develop live long urges for that kind of relationship and often the relationships are unhealthy
There is no one “daddy/momm issues” set of traits; but often you can boil it down to…..
Act in fashion aaaa hoping to illicit response bbbb……so maybe you want the stern father figure. You might act out and just behave poorly; if your partner doesn’t sufficiently reprimand you. You remain unsatisfied and possibly escalate
Your partner is likely unwilling in participation and unclear as to what the “right” action or recourse is
