> Karen, all I want is Daddy too. I am told on a regular basis however that I need to become my own mother and father. God I hate hearing that! No I don't. What I need is a daddy who tells me he loves me.

> I'm 34 and still dwelling on this...
<<<<My therapist is trying to reparent me at this point. And he told me today that it is possible to find a different father, to take over for your other father, hence a father figure (AKA a priest, father in law, ect). We argued a bit today because I didn't want to talk to him. I accused him of not caring about me, which I'm fairly certain is true. He was annoyed because he thought I was referring to my crush on him. In reality I meant as a daughter. So, the discussion started about Him being my dad,not someone else. I wasn't keen on the idea of finding yet another father at this point. And we've already discussed me calling him daddy (he says dad is ok, daddy wasn't but after some persuasion I talked him into it being OK) Sheesh! Sometimes, in hindsight, I realize how immature I actually sound. Or, maybe just how scared and lost I am. Yes, I believe the latter works to my advantage so I'll go with that one :)
