Issues

This was brought up briefly in a thread in yesterday's meme.

So what I want to know is:

What are your Daddy/Mommy/Parental issues?

My father is the head of Dōjima Industries. Basically, he's a yakuza boss of the legal business variety, and has ties to both SOLOMON and the STN:J. I don't know all of it, and I don't think I want to know all of it. He thinks I'm not good enough to take over the company, just because I am a girl.

My mother is a proper Japanese society wife, who really doesn't understand why I can't just get married like a Good Girl, because really, it will make everyone happier.

This has left me with severe identity issues, because I am very much not the daughter that either of them wants, and a deep craving for their approval even as I repeatedly flip them the finger in the hopes that then they'll pay some attention to me.

It's not that they're bad people... Okay, yes, my father is a Bad Man. He employs men like Reno, and I grew up with them for my babysitters. They just want me to do what will make them happy.

Really, it's not that surprising that I ended up seeking approval from a 'benevolent' authority figure like Father Juliano, and using my dissociative issues to become a spy and double-agent...
