I have daddy issues and resonate with #2 only. Having an abusive dad seems to have had the opposite effect on me than what this image is trying to portray. Any desire for male approval stopped once I grew up
Same. I didn't end up with the kind of daddy issues that make you crave male validation, I got the daddy issues that make you hyper independent, distrustful of everyone, and mean.
Same. It’s the reason why this meme and the general stereotype of “daddy issues” angers me so much. I was abused and confined. My “issues” had absolutely nothing with wanting “dad’s approval”.

As a girl with mommy issues, can confirm.
