 Father-Daughter Relationships   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Daughters need to be able to relax, be affectionate, and know that they are safe with certain males.
When daughters learn to communicate with their fathers, and trust that their opinion will count, they can develop self-assuredness which will allow them to be assertive and stand up for themselves.
Fathers, however, teach their daughters how to regard themselves, what kinds of relationships are healthy, what to look for in a partner, and what to expect of men in co-parenting relationships.

The tone in which the professor alluded to the pure and lovely daughter of Rappaccini was a torture to his soul; and yet the intimation of a view of her character, opposite to his own, gave instantaneous distinctness to a thousand dim suspicions, which now grinned at him like so many demons.

A heartbreaking documentary that upsets your expectations of happily-ever-afters, Daughter from Danang is a riveting emotional drama of longing, identity, and the personal legacy of war.

 Moms of Teenage Girls! Help Your Daughter Create a Healthy Body Image
Study shows dieting mothers influence their daughters' eating habits ~ Mothers not only help shape their children's eating habits by what is served at the table, they also play a central role in transmitting cultural perceptions of weight and appearance.

And, as I sit here wondering what she might be learning (and what boys she might be meeting) in her sociology class today, I can't help but harbor a strange thought: I wish all of the men in China could feel the heaviness of heart that I am feeling right now.
Daughters have a tendency to evoke from their dads a tender "soft love" that comes far less naturally to men than the "tough love" that fathers typically show their sons.
And while it is obviously true that fathers (and mothers) should seek to be neither too soft nor too hard on each of their kids, there is an almost-universal recognition that fathers should probably err a little in one direction with boys and a little in the other direction with girls.

 Mary Cheney's gay — so what?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Republicans could have had a real stumper here because Republicans are not necessarily anti-gay, but the religious right is. In fact, the only openly gay speaker at the GOP convention, Arizona Rep. Jim Kolbe, was greeted by a silent protest in the audience as some delegates bowed their heads in prayer during his speech.
He obviously has reconciled his acceptance of his daughter's sexuality with his political views because Mary is working on the campaign as her father's travel aide.
All of this could suggest that Cheney is ashamed of his daughter and that the GOP is avoiding the issue.

He gave her money and paid her regular visits (and probably tuition) at the fl South Carolina college where she was a "high yaller" sorority girl while he was governor of the state.
But somehow Thurmond's subterranean Freudian life—significant relationships with a fl daughter and her mother—brings a fresh level of appall to the immorality of his demagoguing.
She would in fact be at least one-half white in her genetic inheritance, and, as I indicated just previously, more than likely more white in her genetic make-up than she would be fl, or Negro, to use the older term.

This is our daughter, our little girl, and even in her disabled condition, she still has the right to life and the right to be loved and cared for by her family.
To add insult to all of this injury toward my daughter, Michael Schiavo is still her "legal husband" and therefore is her "guardian." And since they are not legally divorced, he controls whatever health care she will and will not get.

And finally, portrays a devoted Daughter that suffered along with, and did what she could, to support her Father spiritually and physically with a devoted Daughter's love.
