I could type with my thumbs for hours on this topic as my girls are my world, will do anything and everything for their success in life. My oldest is on one side of the fence...going down her path, even though it is a path that breaks my heart, creates anxiety for me, will physically and emotionally drain me more often than not. Then there is my little girl who is 8, and is just amazing, blows me away with her care, love, and happiness and outlook on life...she is the total package. My oldest won't talk to me let alone be honest and truthful to where I can trust her, and she has been taught lifes lessons from mom and I, not to lie, cheat, steal, treat others with respect and how you want to be treated, don't be manipulative or take advantage of others for your benefit...trust me did everything I could as a big strong dad even spend $75k on therapeutic wilderness programs, private high school, therapy sessions with her weekly to help her understand and speak her feelings openly, but the outside influences I could not control were the ones who were too powerful...internet and Facebook, the black hole of everything we are trying to protect our children from right at their fingertips. We give them cell phones, smart phones, computers, internet access...and they are too immature for it, and so are we as adults. We need to understand it is our fears, the feel we need to have control because they are not ready and then BOOM!!! They are now 18 years old and they are told by society as well as friends that they are now adults and parents lose their control to continue to parent their child...and one day we go to our therapist and no problems, the day she turns 18 the therapist needs my daughters consent to have me in her therapy sessions or even have permission to be in the same room as her...WTF??? This is where our society is our own worst enemy, although we need to parent our children to succeed in this society we live in or else we are setting them up for failure. To be a parent is the toughest job period, give a daddy a beautiful little girl to raise, love, nurture, and protect...100x more difficult!!! We are men, we know who will ultimately be with our daughters, and we know how we can be. Then take our rights away at an age where these kids are not ready to be adults and give them adult rights without fully understanding and we have no control or any leg to stand on with them...is just plain fucking insanity!!!
Sorry, just keep doing what you are doing brother...be open to her, make sure to let her tell you anything...it is what you don't know is what you have to worry about! Love her, make sure she knows everyday, make sure she knows she can come to you for anything without you freaking out on her, she needs to feel safe with you...her daddy!!!
This is why my signature says what is says...you have some vets here in the daughter business, hit us up anytime, needs to be more support groups for Daddy's with Daughter's!!!
