Again...I will jump in to this father/daughter discussion....
I read somewhere that for a man to have a good healthy relationship with women depends GREATLY ON HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS MOTHER....not his father as most think....and for a woman to have a good healthy relationship with a man GREATLY DEPENDS ON HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER FATHER....not her mother as most would think
I think what is being stated here supports this because those inappropriate comments by fathers to daughters has adversly effected their ability to bond with their H/BF's....it has effected them sexually which will have a HUGE effect on male relationships with them....
So I think the point should be made that fathers need to be close to their daughters and their daughters need to feel safe with them....sons need to be close with their mothers and need to learn from them about women....if things are not appropriate or if they child m/f is pushed away by that parent as they enter adulthood or if that parent continues to treat them as a child then you end up with women who have problems forming healthy relationships with men and men who are "momma's boys".....
