The Roots

📍 Episode 2 of Gina's story. New here? Start at Episode 1 → https://daddy-tissues.captivate.fm/episode/im-fcking-doing-this 🎬 Watch this episode on YouTube → https://youtu.be/taRNohhG4fE The show is called Daddy Tissues, so we might as well talk about the obvious: daddy issues. And mommy issues too — because let's be fair, everyone contributed, and I always give credit where it's earned. I used to think "daddy issues" was just something people said about the girl with the glow-in-the-dark tongue ring who kept getting demerits from Sister Helen for her uniform skirt. Now that I'm 40, divorced, and hosting a podcast from my bedroom, I can tell you from deep in my soul: daddy issues are not a punchline. They are the root system. They are the wiring. They are the reason. This episode is about what your childhood actually taught you about love — before you ever met the man you're crying over now. Why the smartest, most self-aware women keep choosing the same wound wearing a different face. And why being aware of the pattern is not the same thing as being free of it. Grab your daddy tissues. Till next time, my queens. 🖤 ⚠️ Contains strong language and discussion of family trauma and toxic relationships. 📖 Daddy Tissues is a true story told in order. Start at the beginning.
