My dad was one of those dad’s that ruled with an iron fist. It was “his way or no way”. He often used the saying “because I said so and that’s all that matters”. My momma always had to consult him before any decision. In our house when we asked something of one parent they would always say, “Go ask your Father”, or “Go ask your Mother”. My parents always worked together and my daddy always had the last word.
Fathers are to be the “head of the household” according to the Bible and as daughters we must learn to respect our daddies. The father daughter relationship can be very important. Our relationship with our earthly daddy can teach us a great deal about our relationship with our Heavenly Father and it can have a great impact upon it as well.
A father’s relationship with his daughter can truly make an impact upon her for eternity. I am blessed that my father took such an active role in parenting me, even if he did do so with a strong will.
I know girls that sometimes it is difficult to deal with a strong fisted father. He only wants what is best for you. Moms, if you want to help your daughter with her relationship with her Father always encourage the strength of that relationship. Never try to outshine her father, always respect his wishes, and encourage her to respect him as well.
The Journey of Daughterhood Set which includes a book and a CD. It uses imagery found in a butterfly’s life cycle as lessons to draw from for father’s to direct their daughters on their own journey, The Life Cycles of Butterflies Book and The journey of Daughterhood CD message yields highly illustrative instruction for the father daughter relationship.
This resource will help a father and daughter in their relationship with each other. Encourage your daughter’s relationship with her father by using this valuable resource.

I am very confused and hurt right now over the relationship i have with my father and the relationship he has chosen not to have with me. I am a 45 yr old woman who is finally seeing the light in where she fits into her family and from where i am standing right now, and except for my mom, i fit nowhere. i have 2 brothers and a sister, my parents are still alive and married. we used to be what i thought a close knit family. but it appears in my eyes the older i get, the less i know who they really are and wonder where i came from. i of course am the baby of the family. so i suppose alot of us feel this way. but i guess it is all coming to realy light for me the older i get and unfortunately feel like i have no one to turn to. hoping you might be able to help talk to me and work this out in my head to at least understand this better. because the older i get the worse i feel about my family. please help in steubenville ohio.
