How is the relationship between you and your mother/father?

I didn't have ANY relationship with my father. My mom was a single parent, and my grandmother helped some as well. And, I grew up with 1 of my sisters (my other half-sister, I never grew up with her), so I was surrounded by ALL WOMEN! My father RARELY came around! I can probably count the amount of times I saw him throughout my life! He passed away in 1994, and I never REALLY got 2 know him that well. So, my relationship with him never got a chance 2 be "good" OR "bad"! It was NON-EXISTENT!

You know I don't know what is worse? A relationship with a parent that is turbulant or a relationship that is lets say nice? Kind of like it would be with an aquaintance! I think I grew up with the stress of trying to not make waves so a fight didn't break out and now I am so good at it that we just all are pleasant! Sad really!

Well I guess I was very lucky. My relationship with my Mother (also now deceased) was the best - she was like my best friend as well as my Mum. We could talk about everything, shared everything,laughed about everything............. of all the people in this world I have ever met, she was the one I admired and loved the most. She came to the UK as a refugee with nothing, - couldn't speak a word of the language, and had undergone great hardships in Russia during World War II, - but she was the strongest, most humourous, loving, understanding person in the world. She was non-judgmental, broad-minded, enlightened perhaps beyond her years and generation, and I still shed tears for her everyday. With my Dad - well he is still living, and I care for him. Of course I love him, but our relatinship has never been that close, - not sure why.

I love my mom. Sure we get on eahcothers nerves sometimes, and we have arguements. But I love her and I could not imagaine life without her, at least not a happy one!

I had a wonderful relationship with my mom. God rest her soul. Of course there was the normal ups- & downs in a mom/ daughter relationship. But we were always there for each other. My mom did so much for me. She was always there when I needed her. Mom helped me through some of my darkest days. It brings a tear to my eye just to think about it. Mom was a strong and special lady. Then she got really sick, after dad passed away. She had (sorry can't spell) emphezima, well you know what I mean. So my husband (now deceased), did all that was needed to get her house in order and brought her to live with us. It was hard. So many things changed in our house. Mom changed being sick. It would take to long to explain. But I thank god for my mom, and I miss her dearly.

It really good with my parents.My mom is friendly with me and she is very caring.My dad never says no to anything which i love the most.

My mom and I had a time when we hated each other. Her boyfriend molested me and she didn't believe me. I became a very rebelious teenager. Then we became very close. I was the favorite daughter who got just about anything I wanted. My son got what he wanted too. We were both very spoiled. Then things changed. I was on the "sh*t" list as my family calls it. My mom is very mentally unstable. Some days she is okay and other days shes not. Its hard to tell which day it is and it can change in an instant. So I don't see or talk to her much anymore. It may sound cruel but I have enough to deal with. I did send her a Mother's Day card. It didn't come back yet, so it must have been a good day.

My relationship with my parents is great, I talk to my mother every other day....my dad is loosing his memory and it is hard to talk to him, but I love him very much...

I am fortunate I have very good parents that I love very much and they love me.Even though I have tested & tried them they still love me.I was not the perfect child...lol

I have an excellent relationship with my mother now in my late 30s and have had since my early 20s I guess. Prior to that we had a fairly normal mother daughter relationship (if there' such a thing) where she would advise me on things sometimes and I would mostly ignore her advice but we got on well the rest of the time. Nowadays I would say my mum is pretty much my best friend. My husband and friends always comment on the fact that mum and I get on so well. I love going on holiday with her and we share the same taste in films, books and shopping! The only thing she does that bugs me is every so often she nags me to have a child which I have told her that my husband and I have already agreed we are not going to do - I guess she'll have to wait for my brother to make her a grandmother. x

she gives me a gigantic headache on occasion.. but i know she's sick,so i try to roll it off. every once in awhile,i have to take a walk though.

As a family, we may don't have a 'Perfect Relationship' for we all know that there is no such a thing as perfect in this world...but I am proudly to say that me and my family together have a pretty good relationship from one another, and through by trusting God in our lives...we conquer every trials and challenges in this life that we are living.
