How Much does a father figure figure?
I was watching SATC reruns this weekend and I thought this one was fitting for my "Daddy Dearest" column. Carrie meets an older man at Vogue who is willing to help her write her first column. In one of their first discussions, he asks her where her father is, and when she saysif that he left when she was little, it makes her question if her deadbeat dad had any thing to do with her relationships with men. I am sure every girl whose father left when she was in her formative years is asked the follow questions at least once:
Have you been in therapy?
Do you need to go to therapy? (people are always try to send you to therapy if your dad left you)
And if you admit that aren't interested in someone who seems to be halfway decent, they inevitably imply that you must be a commitment phobe and it must be because of your absentee father. These same people are always very proud of themselves for cracking this psychological code.
So, do absentee fathers = commitment phobic women?
Oh gosh I love your blog. Anytime someone has something to say and ties it in to Sex & The City, I'm in. Haha. But no really, your posts are very interesting, and sooo different than a lot of the stuff I read, I like it a lot.
