Setting aside the psychology explanations for it, I think it's all written into nature actually, everything is nature including your father obviously, including other people, the mind etc, and that the 'negative energy' let's say, put onto in this instance, you, produces more negative energy - hence the self negativities, let's say. And the same is true for the positive energy. In this model we might all be putting negative and positive energy out there. I believe it actually is the case. That's the way I look at it. I have my own 'self negativities' too, but it's a journey of change.🙏
