But in my current therapy, my current therapist is saying now how being forced to be a daddy's girl ended up confusing me a lot about relationships with men. my father loved me so much, that for a long time he almost unconsciously kept me all to himself. He wouldn't let me talk to any of my relatives, friends, even my mother. And I had to be kind of an emotional companion to him for a long time. I grew up too quickly to satisfy his emotional needs. I kind of ended up being my father's closest friend. My current therapist says that itself leads to lot of anger and frustration and inability to connect to people or men of my age who are available to me. I was not abused though.
But I am 28 now, and I have been out of my home ever since 1993, so it shouldn't really matter now. But my new T keeps saying that it put me in extremely difficult situation as a child and if I don't work on it and revisit it now, I will never recover from it.
But I don't know what that would have to do with this recurrent dream.
