Have you ever asked yourself, “Do I have daddy issues?”. Maybe you had an alcoholic or abusive father. Or a father who was always busy at work and had no time for you. And this could mean that you have a ‘father complex’ now.
Psychotherapist Dr. Gaurav Deka says, “When the need for father’s protection in childhood is not fulfilled, the emotional and cognitive development of a person goes awry. The emotional baggage of the past is carried forward into their romantic life. This is the complex psychology behind daddy issues.”

Developing secure relationships is quite challenging for them; attachment is not as simple or straightforward for them.” Take this daddy issues quiz, consisting of just seven questions to know more…
