i have a great relationship with my dad!! people have assumed i don’t or thought i had “daddy issues” (which is an incredibly disrespectful way to refer to having childhood trauma around one’s father, by the way) before for whatever reason, though.
Not until about 1989 or `90.
He'd just had another of his screaming matches with me over something incredibly stupid, as nearly every one of them over the previous few decades had been, and I decided to take the lyrics from a new song that just came out, write them onto a sheet of paper by hand and leave them on the kitchen table over night where he could find it the next morning while having his coffee (the effect was to be: I wrote a song that night and accidentally left it on the table when I went to bed) and, from that day onwards, we only ever had one or two "fights" and they were about legit shit rather just, why didn't I close the door, shut off the light or t.. v. after my SISTER left them open/on?
This was the song.
I've never heard the eyebrow/father thing, but then, I know nothing of goth culture.
It's great that you get along with your dad!
My 25-year-old son and I have never connected. I've tried and tried.
My dad passed away when I was a little boy.
I've adopted father figures here and there along my way.
I still miss my dad.
Yes I did…. sometimes. He was a bit of an asshole and had little patience with me because of my autism and my sensory issues and me driving him crazy but he never gave up on me and he learned to be more patient. I realize he wasn’t a perfect dad and he screwed up and made mistakes and he taught us to do the same, be responsible and take responsibility for our screw ups. He can be brutally honest and blunt and was never afraid to say what he thinks, even if it isn’t what we wanna hear or made us uncomfortable but he didn’t care. Even if it’s things I didn’t want him to bring up, he flat out mentions it straight up. I miss my daddy. RIP 🙏🏻🥹❤️❤️😭😭
no, my dad is an addict, but im at least on speaking terms with him kinda because he was never abusive. just neglectful and very undependable. at least he taught me some good music lmao. my step-dad is an asshole and i'll leave it at that.
also, you brought up a good point i've never heard anyone talk about. the term "daddy isuses" is offensive, yet i use it anyway lmao. it used to piss me off though when i was a teenager

Yes, he is the best man I know and I look up to him very much. I only see him a few times a year, but everytime I do I genuinely appreciate every moment. Those trips feel like I've hit gold each time.
My father left my mother when I was in high school so we did not have a good reltionship for a few years after that, Things got better after a while.
Really happy for you... it's awesome that you have that great relationship.
I didn't have that great of one with my dad. 😥
Somewhat - my father wasn't really invested in me when I was little, probably because he was already middle-aged and about to divorce my mother.
Growing I went on to work for him for a brief time, and things improved. It was an amicable relationship until he passed away last year.
My dad? No, he can go fuck himself. My father figure, yeah, we did. RIP
I don't have a very good relationship with my father but that's awesome that you do.
I love my dad very much. I've always been a daddy's girl.
u I haven't spoken to my father in years, and it wouldn't concern me to know that he died in the most painful way possible.
Yes, I'm close to my dad 🙂
i don't have one never did
Dad & I genuinely get along very well.
