I grew up in a family that's very nurturing. A family who's always been there for me thru ups and downs. When I succeeded in my chosen field on endeavour and when my business got bankrupt, they were always there. Now that I left them for personal reasons, the feelings cannot be explained. I miss my sisters, my mother and father. But it was really my mother that I misses the most. I just want to ask your opinion, to whom are you closest to....your mother or father? Please share with me your thoughts.

Yes, it's true that it's hard to pick one from both of them. But whenever I am seeing pregnant women it always come accross to my mind the hardship of those mothers who carried us for the entire 9 months.

I really agree with you man. It was really my mother who was with me from the moment I was born until now. Though I cannot say anything bad about my father. he is also good.

I am far closer to my mom than my dad.I dont know why but me and my dad dont match mush and our views often clash.Opposite to that me and my mum we both are not only mum and daughter but we are very good friends also.We get great along with each other.

Neither. I wasn't close to anyone in my family. I was like an afterthought. They weren't abusive but the were neglectful and I always felt like an outsider.
I still see my dad but I don't have contact with anyone else - and they haven't tried to contact me so the neglect continues. Their attitude was that I wasn't supposed to be there and they made it clear to me that I was an "intrusion".
It's hard to get close to people who you have nothing in common with.

mom.
I was greatly helped by her throughout these years.and i freely share all my feelings only with my mom.Father is a little bit reserved but not mom.So i am very close to my mom.though i like both of them.

I am close to both my parents and talk to them on the phone most days. My Dad has lots of interests in common with me, so we talk about this kind of thing and general chit-chat about our daily life. My Mum is more serious and gets stressed easily, but I tend to confide in her more about my problems and worries.
