Yesterday I posted this question:

Why am I 21 years old and still fantasize about tv dads being my father?
Every since I was maybe 14 or 15 years old, I've had this obsession with those movies and shows like 7th Heaven that depict loving families (and yes I know they're not real; you don't have to tell me this!)...and I've always been like obsessed with the way the dads act towards their families? I don't know...I'd just always daydream about them being my dad. Like, I'd imagine that I did something wrong, and them scolding me. Weird, I know.

And now that I'm 21 (well in a few weeks I will be), I've noticed that I still do that. I was watching episodes of Growing Pains yesterday and today, and I freaking love the dad.

Does this mean I'm crazy?

The majority of the answers I got just told me that it was normal and stuff, but one guy typed up this really long answer basically explaining that I am somehow trapped in a childhood mindset that's inhibiting me from seeking adult desires and that I need to grow up..I've been wondering ever since. Is that what's causing me to do this?
