Barney never had a dad.
It seems like such a harsh
statement to start off a blog with but it’s a sad truth for many children in
todays world. Growing up without a
strong male rolemodel, or even worse to grow up knowing that your father left
you, causes feelings of abandonment and frustration later in life. “daddy issues” as Barney so cheerfully puts
it, and the irony being that Barney who states that “girls with daddy issues
are so easy”, himself has “daddy issues”.
Growing up boys are instilled a fear and awe
of their dads, even when a boy turns into a man and his once tall and strong
father grows old and weary, the young man never truly looses his admiration and
fear of his father. Because as you grew
up he was a role model, he was the one who disciplined you when you did wrong
and the one who encouraged you when you didn’t have faith in yourself. Barney Stinson, a successful banker,
womanizer and all round badass, grew up without a father. He is one in a million because not all kids
who had the same up brining as him could have made it to his level.
