Aquaria Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Great. I love them both to death and feel grateful they raised me how they did, support me and I continue to look up to them and hope to make them proud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I haven't had much of a relationship with my father for years. I don't miss him, but I do wish he was a better person for my mom's and sister's sake. I have a great relationship with my mom. I love her wholeheartedly. We actually have something of a friendship now. We have our differences, but we're more alike than I thought we'd ever be. I'm grateful for that.

Bailey Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 shitty.....my dad and I are not close, never was, yet he raised me and my brother with our mom. My mom Im close to, but its hard because Im more driven than my mom's side of the family and I watch them have money problems and things I dont have to deal with.

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 My parents.. Eh My relationship with my mother is strained. I haven't fully let go of something that happened years ago and she can be a nagging bitch at times. I love my mom.. But I don't like my mom My father, I love and appreciate but I wouldn't put the label "close" next to each other. #TherapySession 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidfresh832 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Me and my mom have always been close she's not terribly nosy which annoys me with family members. Its weird when I have to call my dad my dad. We had a complicated relationship. He was very standoffish and quiet and at times I despised him growing up and wished they would just divorce. I have always called him by his first name only. I don't know what happened to him when I was in high school but he changed and became less standoffish but I had already lived with it for so long we will never really be close but I don't hate him now I guess.

Thats how it is with my dad, he was such a mean person growing up, I got used to not having his love, so at this age, you realize whatever you did or didnt get is in the past you gotta keep the shit moving.

jarrylf Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Actually pretty great with both. Me & my mom are constantly knagging each other about everything, but all in all we have great times and theres alot of love there. My dad Im pretty close with even tho he's back in Detroit but of his 9(+) kids I think I'm either the closest to him or 2nd at least, which is cool. He use to be a bad guy when my mom was married to him (He's got 9+ kids with 6+ baby mama's and had a former heavy drug habbit and heavy childhood issues you do the math, it wasn't at all a happy marriage, in just about every way for my mom.) but today he's a REALLY great guy, and I care alot about him and love him.

Bailey Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 My parents I think are just two people that I dont know how they kept it together until it wasn't ...we did NOT have a normal childhood....oh well Like when I get around people that reach out to family and vice versa, its weird to me, my family is not connected and very dysfunctional. I used to do big dinners here with my mom, but the family would fight, they couldn't put their differences aside, and it became very unpleasant, so I decided to stop the dinners, I would cook prime rib at Christmas and Turkeys and all the trimmings, I did it up, like lets break bread and just enjoy the moment no matter what tomorrow has in store....my people don't think like that, they can't escape who they are...so I envy Jarrylf and those that actually connect to their family.

RedSimba Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'm fortunate that I've always had a great relationship with both my parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedElegance™ Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 My relationship with my mother is fantastic. I wouldn't say we're especially close but I can tell her anything and she has always been there for me no matter what. My mother is also gay and has been in a relationship for fifteen years, pretty much since my dad walked out and never came back. I have a great connection with her partner as well and she's become a second mother to me. My father leaving has never been discussed in detail but I've reached a point where I'm no longer concerned. My brother, sister and I spent the first Christmas with him after the divorce and then never heard from him again. I can't imagine what they went through was easy but the fact remains he not only left behind but cut off all contact with three kids. Maybe he was looking for an easy way out or something, I don't know. But it's been so long now that if I were to find out something had happened to him I doubt I would have any kind of reaction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Mine are currently 62 & 88... I'm sure that has a lot to do with our respected scenarios Age, immigration and "religion"/culture for me . No problem with religion here but I'm not here for outdated customs in culture that have nothing to do with the religion that was forced on me as a kid.
