I say that daddy issues are not the daughter's fault, since you cannot blame a child for the behavior of an adult.
However, a grown-up daughter's actions - still in reaction is her father - is hers to be held accountable for.
If you don't forgive (different than reconciliation) your father, you will resent your husband (for staying since your dad abandoned you), be bitter towards your sons, and break your daughters.
Because when you hurt, your family hurts too, indirectly and directly, whether consciously or subconsciously done. That's why they say that "hurt people hurt people". They feel your pain; you're not fooling anyone.
Don't share pain; don't pass- down pain. Share love; teach love. Heal. Break those generational curses.
And vice-versa for boys/men and mommy issues.
