having an emotionally abscent father affecting daughters relationships with men?

Question

Is there any information/websites/books on the topic of this. For example, lets say a father is always present, but was never there for the daughter emotionally and how the daughter as an adult chooses men with specific traits? thats just an example though.

Answer 1

There is therapy.

Everyone has had some issue in their lives. If you recognize that you are dating the "wrong" kind of people, it is your responsibility as an adult to change that behavior.

Answer 2

Here is one of the best books out there:

Longing for Daddy: Healing from the Pain of an Absent or Emotionally Distant Father. It is by Monique Robinson

Answer 3

I'd suggest using a search engine and look for a psychologist named John Bowlby. He came up with a theory called the internal working model of attachment that speaks about the relationship between parent-child relationships and later adult romantic relationships. Here's some initial information about him here:
