Is this diatribe genuine or just in tribute to that segment of society which allegedly woefully neglects their progeny? While the case in point is shameful, a daughter's response as such is dangerous, if the veracity of the old saying that a woman's relationship with her father reflects in her relationship with her husband, holds. Such guys are unfortunate in these wives since judging from this above, they will be demanding and unloving, readily shaming their husbands. Perhaps then, such issues should not be addressed? Or perhaps in a different fashion as befitting a child to their parent...responsible or not. Is this diatribe unreasonable, demanding an imaginary "daddy" in place of reality? Frankly, I think it is. Men are men, not God. I think we'd be surprised to find what a real father is truly like, when we look in the Bible, as opposed to our blissful imaginations of a "Mr. Perfect" daddy. In which case, your concluding line is too perfect, you say he shames you, and you've just shamed him.
