Vicky yearned for her fatherly presence she had never experienced, and this longing often led her into toxic relationships. Vicky believed that if she could find someone to love her, she would fill the void left by her absent father. However, her desperation for love often clouded her judgment, causing her to ignore warning signs in her relationships. She found herself attracted to those who mirrored her father’s absence, emotionally unavailable and unreliable. These individuals only reinforced her feelings of disappointment and abandonment, leaving her feeling lost and unlovable. Vicky’s journey taught her that love cannot be found by searching for it outside oneself, but rather by cultivating it within.
