Parent-child bonds tend to be extremely strong, so this might be a little bit unrealistic.
But anyway, if you're after caring, you have to be willing to be vulnerable and dependent (and that goes for your partner too). Strong independence from your partner is not great for emotional bonding.
This is one of the things that feminism doesn't exactly get wrong, but it kind of flubs its truth-in-advertising. Strong, independent, emotionally distant men are a problem for close relationships and emulating that as a woman doesn't make it any better. It's not that feminism is saying to be emotionally distant, but it naturally comes along with the strong-independent mindset. It was worth some caveats (or different phrasing with a lesser connotation of emotional distance, e.g. "accomplished and decisive" or "successful and proactive" or whatever).
