6. Certainly the importance of father/son relationships are a significant part of childhood development

It just seems to me that this topic is discussed more than father/daughter relationships, and I think the ways in which each gender is affected by their father is not exactly the same. For instance, I'm pretty sure the father can have a big influence on the type of people his daughter will pursue relationships with in adulthood. I'm not sure you can say the same about his sons.

I hope the worst of your issues are behind you. Poor childhood emotional development is something many people struggle their whole life with, which underscores the need to develop good parents and other role models in our society.
