Dear RoseQ:

I think that if a child has one  healthy relationship with one parent,  that child is very fortunate and is likely to have healthy adult relationships. Women often look at their father as the reason for failed relationships with men, because the father is a male and the men are males, same  gender.

The reasons for failed relationships with men in adulthood can be about who the  men are that you happen to get involved with; it can be about your relationship with any adult in your home  of origin and  it can be about a troubled relationship with one’s mother.
