A 17 yr old, girl, won't call 'Dad' but can refer to 'Dad' to a 3rd party. It is a family of 2 children, older, boy, 19 calls Dad without problem but Dad has records, the girl only called him 'Dad' twice in her life. When she wants to talk to him she looks in his direction but never calls him anything. I have asked her why she doesnt call 'Dad', she sometimes denies it but one time said she chokes, aa! As far as I know, nothing big the dad has done to her, he has been taking care of the children even more than mom coz mom worked more hours, so I expected the children to be close to the dad (mom passed on and this was the case even when mom was alive). The only thing is, she thinks dad is strict but from my close observation, nothing so big apart from the normal teenage proms. The 2 children are a bit distanced from dad. I have seen and heard but not a child who cannot call bio Dad, or Father etc. Anybody come across the same thing??
