When a child is devoid of the love of a father, it produces signs and symptoms that are often ignored. When ignored, the individual may choose negative lifestyle choices and destructive behavioral patterns. I experienced loneliness and tremendous heartache as a result of abandonment and having been molested from the ages of 8 to 11, I suffered from an eating disorder, anxiety, negative self-image, and constant people pleasing. Throughout my childhood and most of my adult life I kept my feelings under lock and key; this would cause a series of issues in relationships and misconstrue my outlook on life. One day I had to face the truth. I had daddy issues, and those "issues" were killing me silently and destroying everything in my path. This book was written to help you understand how vital self-healing is before entering into a relationship.
