This is for all the Fatherless Daughters of the World. A Fatherless Daughter is any woman who grew up with an absent, unavailable or unattached father.... Being repeatedly treated in hurtful ways, or being constantly/repeatedly thrown into painful situations, and not being able to express the pain we feel about it, conditions us to respond to the world in a certain way, and to expect certain things from the world. Many patterns are formed in just this way, simply by the repetitive layering and compression of unexpressed emotion. When pain is unexpressed from one experience, it sits inside, heavy and hurting. When we are repeatedly treated in hurtful ways, the unexpressed pain builds up, layer upon layer, creating an onion with tightly compressed, but frozen, emotions and memories. At first the pain may be close to our awareness and we realize its there, but the heavier it becomes, the MORE pain that is piled up there, the more we need to push it away from consciousness. Pushing it away is a survival mechanism. Without being able to release it and heal the pain, having it sitting there at the back of your throat or on your forehead is constant torture. So, we push it away, and forget. Then its like having a wound that you dont notice until something touches it. There begins the Making of a Fatherless Daughter. The GOOD NEWS...You can HEAL!
