According to the Urban Dictionary, “Daddy Issues” Is “When a girl has a messed up relationship with her dad. Usually the father’s fault. Either he left or is acting like a total bitch.”
Not sure how accurate that is, but I did laugh out loud.
In layman’s terms, Daddy Issues refer to a dysfunctional father/daughter relationship resulting in a myriad of issues for the daughter ranging from a lack of self-esteem (check), people pleasing (check), falling for emotionally unavailable men (CHECK!!!)
