Girls DON'T need daddy | My experience

Parents are supposed to be the first ones to provide the guidance that will ground our lives, but what happens when they - or one of them - become a kind of burden full of cynicism?

Let me - or rather allow me - to explain the context so that you understand what I mean.

To make a long story short, it is very normal or common for daughters to have some conflict with their fathers. In my case, since I was young, my father has not been very much in agreement with my decisions and tastes, although with time he accepted them, so far so normal, very common. But when you reach a point where you do not know what is true and what is a lie in everything that refers to that person, sometimes it borders on the hilarious and others... well, not so much.

In many moments when I needed his support, his comfort, they ended in words that went so deep that even today, I still remember in what tone and with what gesture they were said. I am not saying that it was always like that, I have good memories at his side. But always what we don't like is what prevails.

Some hints and manipulations, even months without talking to each other. A girl always needs daddy, he is her first and only friend. It's not always like that, I found out the hard way. A present and absent figure, that little by little led to what it is today, an amorphous form of esteem-indifference that we both have formed, where he lies and I hide, where doing nothing is everything and I only end up thinking neither he deserves so much, nor I so little... I allowed it. Many times I blame myself for this situation, when in reality it is his fault for never assuming the truth and not that world that he created for himself, for taking advantage of the things that I can and have been achieving with so much sacrifice.

I get myself imagining that everything would be better when I leave or go far away... simple epiphanies. Other times I say to myself even at this age and you are still drilling in your head with that matter?, yes, and it will be like that until my back finishes breaking under that burden and I loosen up.

Se supone que los padres son los primeros en brindar la guía que fundamentará nuestras vidas, pero ¿qué pasa cuando estos – o uno de ellos- se vuelven una especie de carga llena de cinismo?

Déjenme – o más bien permítanme – que les explique el contexto para que entiendan a qué me refiero.

Para no hacer la historia tan larga, es muy normal o común que las hijas lleguen a tener algún conflicto con sus padres. En mi caso, el mío desde joven no ha estado muy de acuerdo con mis decisiones y gustos, aunque con el tiempo fue aceptándolas, hasta aquí todo normal, muy común. Pero al llegar a un punto en el que no sabes qué es verdad y qué es mentira en todo lo que se refiere a esa persona, a veces raya en lo hilarante y otras… pues, no tanto.

En muchos momentos que necesité de su apoyo, su consuelo, terminaban en palabras que calaron tan profundo que incluso hoy, aún recuerdo hasta en qué tono y con qué gesto se dijeron. No digo que siempre haya sido así, tengo buenos recuerdos a su lado. Pero siempre lo que no nos gusta es lo que prevalece.

Algunas indirectas y manipulaciones, hasta meses sin hablarnos. Una niña siempre necesita a papá, es su primer y único amigo. No siempre es así, lo descubrí a las muy malas. Una figura presente y ausente, que poco a poco llevó a lo es hoy, una forma amorfa de estima-indiferencia que ambos hemos formado, donde él miente y yo oculto, en donde el no hacer nada lo es todo y solo termino pensando ni él merece tanto, ni yo tan poco… yo lo permití. Muchas veces me culpo a mí misma por esta situación, cuando la realidad la culpa es de él por nunca asumir la verdad y no ese mundo que él solo se creó, por aprovecharse de las cosas que puedo y he ido logrando con tanto sacrificio.

Me consigo imaginando que todo sería mejor cuando me vaya o se lejos… simples epifanías. Otras veces me digo ¿aún a esta edad y sigues taladrándote la cabeza con ese asunto?, sí, y así será hasta que mi espalda termine de partirse por esa carga y afloje.

It's definitely a difficult situation, being a parent and trying to do and say what they can to make a point without being too strong in it. It sounds like your father went a bit too far if it left the mark that it did and that's unfortunate. Hopefully he didn't intend it to be that way but that's how it ended up and no way to go back from that. Hopefully you can proceed in whatever manner you can, with some boundaries or something that take into account what happened and try not to get back to that situation.

Thanks for posting in the community here, glad to see more people are discovering it!

Not at all easy but unfortunately I had to live it.
On the contrary, thanks to you for creating this space, I was looking for one like this to be able to express these disagreements.
