I'm not saying it has everything to do with your father, but I would not be surprised if it played a significant part.
Your father, your parent, should have given you positive attention and love, but he did not. You missed out on something very important in your development, and now you are seeking it out through interactions with male professionals. You would not be the first person to do this, nor will you be the last. It may be helpful to work with a therapist on this issue. If you are prone to attachment to these figures, I would encourage a female therapist.
