Then you'd best become a hermit 'cause everyone has some damage. It's the human condition!

What irks me is that so many blame every little ill on their parents. If you're an adult, suck it up and deal with it. Then get on with your life the way YOU want it.

I only blame my parents for me not being rich. If they had only worked harder I would not have to.

Of course, that's what my kids say to me.

It's all their fault.

Everyone comes from or has some dysfunction - even in the bible you have Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel and there are plenty more in there. So, there's no escape or inches from a clean get away from imperfection dysfunction. Always make sure your own house is in order before pointing the finger at another.

As far as the parent blaming thing goes it's like any addiction - once you recognize the problem, deal with it and/or fix it - cut those apron strings.

Ive had great relationships with people so I think I am on to something. The few that I did date (as in NOT serious/committed relationship) with daddy/male role model issues all seemed to become crazy psycho beeyatches eventually.

Just watch the first 7-8 minutes of this VH1 show Tough Love where the relationship issues having women talk/cry/breakdown about the relationships with male/father figures in their life and why/how it affects them in their relationships today.

Full Episode | VH1 Tough Love 2 | Ep. 204 | Daddy Issues [HD]

Seriously, I know its really sad, but I dont know how the guy kept a straight face when the one woman who looked to be no younger than 55 years old, started reading her poem to her father. He just said "Beautiful" when I know on the inside he was cracking up and thinking "This is why you will NEVER EVER EVER find ANYONE to be with you, EVER."

Im not bashing women, Im just saying that women with father issues and women who were raised without father figures never had a chance with me because I know and believe they have just too much baggage to have successful (as in long lasting marriage) relationships. Sure there may be few who overcame these issues, but MOST will have difficulties.
YIKES! You sound pretty angry, in a passive aggressive sorta way! Were you perhaps lookin' to start a fight this evening so as not to feel that you "will NEVER EVER EVER find ANYONE to be with you, EVER"?
