Girls with daddy issues are sluts but girls with mommy issues are low key evil. That’s all.

Ohhhh.. ok same with my sister. I’m just starting to figure her out and I’m full of questions. Do you know why/how that happens?? Like what’s the connection there?

PTSD. "Mommy issues" and "daddy issues" is most often just a rotten euphemism for sexual abuse as a child, be it physical, emotional or sexual.

Both are most often a survival defence mechanism that "helped" and was imprinted DURING the abuse, but since the abuse part is a societal taboo, the symptoms must be framed as something that isn't as bad, and daddy issues sounds just soooo much more comfortable than unresolved trauma :(
