What can the "Daddy's little girl" label do long term?

Up until recently my dad was always very overprotective of me. In primary and high school I didn't have any male friends who I spent time with outside of school and wasn't allowed to date. I appreciate the fact that he made that decision for me as if I would have been allowed to date in high school I would have been a s*** not ready for emotional commitments. on the other hand it deprived me of dating and relationship experience and I wonder if I will always fear what my dad taught me to fear in a relationship which is mostly sexual intercourse as unwanted pregnancy is hat we seem to fear more than general death and second to death by cancer in my immediate family. I also wonder if I'm the only girl who obeyed their father's strict dating rules and if any other girl is effected by this. by the way besides dating my father has accepted a lot of choices I made from what I wanted to study to becoming a vegitarian, not vegian I still eat eggs and dairy.

    Well in my opinion, you have to make up your mind. You can not blame your dad for teaching you what he thought was best. But, being that you are.. older (not sure how old) you should be able to make your own choices and not blame your father. At the end of the day you cant say i went out with joe blow because of my dad.. Unless your dad is picking your dates. Being a grown up means we make our choices and live with them.

    Sounds more like you are Daddy's little puppet - he pulls the strings and you do what he says. If you have been brought up to fear having sex , then you may well have some long term issues. I'm horrified that you think that having some dates in high school would have made you into a **** - sorry but that is ridiculous. This idea has been indoctrinated into you by "Daddy" - this is actually very harmful and unhealthy. You sound as if you need some counselling - see your school nurse or your doctor and have a talk about this. Tell them what you said here - some help is needed.

    Nothing, unless you choose to let it. The world does not end if you don't date when you are a child.
