support groups for females of neglectful fathers

asked by caramelmosaic on 21 October 2007 23:17


hello all, i'm in my early 30s and since a high school i have had bouts with depression for like days-weeks at a time. the greatest issue that ignites my episodes is my constant failed relationships and choices with men. my parents divorced when i was 3.i've tried talking to my father and explaining and asking why he was absent emotionally, financially and otherwise. he has a few emotional issues. some friends and family say that i may have to learn to accept this and move on. but how? i want so badly to have a healthy relationship with my father and other men. don't want to be alone for the rest of my life like my mother. i would like to know if any other women feel like this and if so, do you know of a support group?

My father is still around but he has never made any effort whatsoever to even talk to me. It's difficult. Yes, I can cope withoit a father figure. But I do miss having a father figure around, and i think it has managed to screw me up in the sense I find relationships impossible. If I had a child it would be so important to me for the father to be around and involved. Yet there is nothing I feel I can do to bridge the gap between my father and I . He is not interested, and sadly there is little choice for me to accept it. I hope u find some way to resolve your issues/
