I healthy loving relationship between a female child and her Dad will always be her greatest asset. I think the bonding, emotional exchange and physical hugs keep her from searching for it elsewhere at too young of an age.
I personally think divorces which have led to many young girls being denied that type of relationship is one of the pathways to early teen sex and drug abuse. They are missing something within their hearts and are trying to fill the gap elsewhere.
My daughter has a very 'sporadic' relationship with her Dad at best. I find that to be so sad and have no way of fixing it for her.
Keep up the good work Duke and encourage all Dads to do the same!
