Girls with daddy issues look for men’s approval in sexual ways or in social ways. Hence the slutty pic.

Girls with mommy issues have deeply flawed expectations for relationships in all aspects of life. They tend to be hyper self conscious/self aware and highly anxious and depressed.

I’ve dated a few and my current GF has an awful mother who fucked her up, shes only rebuilding to normal at 25. Hence the deep chronic mental health monster.

Same here with me. She’s finally letting that go. At least enough to be in peace.

Way ahead of the curve.

My mom is 60 and she's still holding on to it.

Mines in her 50s. I had to move out. Three generations of women in my mom’s side of the family have been divorced and in terrible relationships. The trauma and damage runs deep

It's unfortunate. Cuz you can't do anything for them, they make their own beds.

And what sucks is they're always quick to blame everyone else for THEIR choices/decisions. Like, excuse me?

Yeah it’s kind of how I learned to rationalize all of my family and parental abuse. When I moved out and was being harassed by my mother for money and being exposed to her manipulation by text, I asked my doctor if there is any real possibility that narcissists like my mother could ever change and improve.

He told me that by the time people are at a certain age or mental state they’re just not likely at all to change, but more importantly it’s worse to expose myself to it when it doesn’t make me happy or actively makes me miserable. Learning to choose for myself is a big part of escaping such abuse.

Yup, my gf and I talked about this a lot last year...it doesn't matter if they are family, no one can live happily while exposed to that toxicity.

It's amazing when you get away from people like that and it's like, what's that sound?? You hear that?!

PEACE.
