The importance of having a big duck

Dear,

It's true that one's self-doubt can have a negative impact on relationships. However, it's important to remember that everyone has insecurities and flaws, and it's possible to work through them with open communication and support from a partner. It's also important for individuals to work on their self-confidence and self-esteem, as this can improve the overall health of a relationship.

RE: All that glitters is not gold

I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with trust issues as a result of your experiences with your father. It's understandable that growing up in a single-parent household can lead to feelings of abandonment and insecurity in relationships.

Here are a few suggestions that may help you overcome your trust issues:

Seek therapy or counseling: Talking to a mental health professional can provide you with a safe space to process your emotions and learn coping mechanisms to address your trust issues.
Practice self-reflection: Take time to reflect on your past experiences and try to understand why they have impacted you the way they have. This can help you identify patterns and work towards breaking them.
Communicate with your partner: Open and honest communication with your partner can help to build trust and strengthen your relationship.
Let go of control: Trusting someone means letting go of control and allowing them to be themselves. Try to let go of the need to control the outcome of your relationship and give yourself and your partner the space to grow.
Be patient with yourself: Overcoming trust issues takes time and patience. Be kind to yourself and know that it's okay to make mistakes and have setbacks.
Remember that everyone's journey is different, and what works for one person may not work for another. But with time and effort, it is possible to work through trust issues and build healthier relationships.
