Daddy Issues is a global collective of women whose lives have been impacted by an absent father.

Welcome to the club you never asked to be part of.
The good news? You’re not alone.
We’re redefining what it means to have “daddy issues”.
Inspired by real-life experiences, Daddy Issues creates a space where admitting “Yep, I’ve got them” is not a heavy confession, it’s a resonant confirmation of where you’ve been - and how far you can go. Together we’re spinning the “fatherless” narrative we’ve been dealt, turning what has weighed us down into some seriously empowering lemonade. Daddy Issues is your invitation to laugh in the face of clichés, share your not-so-perfect stories, and discover the unexpected strength in our shared experiences.
explore our resources
We believe every story shared peels back layers of silence and isolation, creating a tapestry of voices that comfort, challenge, and connect us.
The sharing of stories
Diving into the playgrounds of our past, we embrace the joys and hardships of childhood to heal and celebrate the journey of becoming who we are.
Honouring our inner child
To us, this isn't just looking back - it's about gazing forward with wisdom, understanding our stories, and shaping our futures with intention.
ENCOURAGING REFLECTION
Here’s how we’re finding resilience, creating community, and challenging the stereotypes that keep us down.
I created Daddy Issues for all the women who had to figure out how to navigate a world without her dad. I share my story, my mess, and the resilience I’ve found along the way because my absent father taught me the long-standing power of choices. Mine is to redefine the [daddy] issues I’m left with, reclaim my voice, and create the community I so desperately craved throughout my early adulthood.
I’m Hilary! The founder, writer and force behind Daddy Issues.
GET TO KNOW HILARY AND HER STORY
Created on a tiny island, made to reduce the isolation of absent fatherhood.
Daddy Issues is headquartered in Newfoundland - Canada’s most rugged eastern coastline. Inspired by our surroundings, this island of raw beauty and fierce neighbourliness fuels our global mission to connect and heal the solitude father absence leaves behind.
