Question: "Who in your family are you particularly close to?"

I do not want to be biased over my biological parents, but I am closer to my mom than her husband, a father of mine. I am sure most of us are closer to mommies because of their motherly love. Now, if you are not that close to your matriarch or patriarch, then who is close to your life then? Image Credit: i.pinimg.com

I raised Pretty by myself from the age of two. I was closer to my mom than my dad. I still talk with my two sisters and one brother.

I am sure Pretty is your best friend aside from your mom. I am glad that you are still connected with your siblings.

@DaddyEvil I am glad that you catch up with her. My younger sister is living in another city and it is too far to go there. She told me that she is coming over on Holy Week.

@Shavkat Yes, she probably is my best friend. I have only seen my sister since the pandemic began and she came to our house last week and sat outside and visited with us. It was nice.

Mom and Dad have been gone for years but I was closer to my mother when they were alive. Now it's an older brother. I have three brothers and two sisters but I talk to my brother once every few weeks. The others are just a couple of times a year. I don't talk at all to one brother. He is a dipstick.

I can feel you about your mom. I hope my siblings and I will remain close to what my parents wanted us to be.

@Shavkat I had the same hopes but we drifted apart over the last ten years. I hope you and your siblings always stay close.

@Vikingswest1 I humbly say that my siblings and I are close together. It is how our parents wanted us to be as a tight-knit family.

I come from a closely knit family but I'm definitely most close to my sister.

It seems your biological parents are not always there for you, right?

Outside of my husband which know technically biological we are not linked unlikes we had kids so in all reality I have all three of my kids DNA still inside of me so there for I have part of there dad to there is biological link. Other then that I’m close not my mom. Growing up I was always a daddy girl we do lots of things together. As an adult and a mom myself I’m closer to my mom we get the whole mom thing.

It means you are a daddy's girl. I assumed that you always stick to him before.

Please can I be that baby in the picture. I am only close to Yvonne Nobody else in my family at all is close to me or indeed close to any other family member. My sister was close to my dad. But let's not speak about that. As she said He was a kind and gentle man

I am sure you are close to Yvonne. I do not know what's behind the family story. It is better to be disconnected from them.

I'm very close to my mother. I don't feel close to my father. With my siblings I'm close to my eldest sister

My old man and I always clashed for certain things before. That makes me not closer to him at this aspect only.

Being the only girl in the family, I am closer to my mom. I share most of my problems with her. And we are gossipmates. But I'm also close to my dad.

As far as parents go? They are both highly flawed. As a kid I was closer to my dad than my mom. Then I learned how horribly toxic and narcissistic he was. I'm now closer to my mom than him and only talk to him a couple times a year. Who I'm closest to in my family though? My younger sister. We're not quite two years apart and always have been really close. People say it freaks them out when we're together because our mannerisms are very similar and we have a tendency to say the same thing at the same time. I do have two other siblings, one older sister and a younger brother, but I'm definitely tightest with my little sister.

I am glad that you are close to your younger sister. I am also closer to my younger sister because of one year gap only. There is no generation gap to consider when it comes to talking to her.
