Do you have a good relationship with your parents? How much of your life do you share with them?

They help me out while I'm trying to establish my own life right now to no avail, but I prefer to interact with as few people as possible and it includes my parents. Especially when they're drunk, which they do almost every night and fight when they get home or my dad keeps yelling racial slurs in an attempt to provoke me, my mom, or neighbors.

One night he kept yelling the N word first angrily and then mockingly when my mom yelled at him to "shut the fuck up". Mind you, she's outside with the door closed, so I hope that puts it into perspective just how loudly he's yelling it. Then he drops his phone into the couch and calls my mom every name in the book and that she's a "useless cunt", as she came over to help him but turned away when he said that.

He kept on calling her vulgar names and cussing randomly and at one point started stabbing the couch with a knife in an attempt to get his phone instead of looking under the couch like any normal person would've done, because reasons. He then took my mom's phone and attempted to call his phone no less than 40 times, with it going to voice-mail each time.

Another day, he came home at about 10:00 as you can see, (mind you, I go to sleep at 6-8 pm each night because I work really early). He was so drunk that he couldn't figure out what key to use on the door, so he proceeded to text me, but I was sound asleep and I keep my phone on vibrate. He called 35 times and sent those messages instead of ringing the doorbell again like any normal person would do. He eventually figured out what key to use and came in slamming everything around yelling "fucking piece if shit" numerous times, waking me up. I didn't take his threats seriously becyade both he and iI know he isn't coming near me because I can give him 40 reasons why he should've stayed downstairs, if you get my drift.
So yeah, my relationship with my mom is rocky but the one with my dad, not good at all

[NathanDavis]

a very good relationship yes, we're close in person and in presence and we do share a lot of time and things as family however, I am not so close to them as in sharing every aspect of my life

I have never shared with them about my personal/emotional troubles or issues, struggles... that's something I've deal with myself or something I go through with my friends, or partners

but I still think it's a great relationship, considering how... let's say "rocky" it was, when I was a child and a younger teen, we use to argue a whole lot back in the days and they let me... lol, but it's all good now... I grew up

[Msputiton]

Good

[anon171999]

No I don't. My dad is in need of therapy and some sincere internal work before he is going to be involved in my life again.
I found out I'm pregnant a few days ago and I haven't told my dad. He'll find out because I have a good relationship with my mom and 4 siblings and they will obviously tell him. But until he stops lying and works through his issues, he won't be involved in my life or my child's.
I love him, have forgiven him, and want the best for him, but I don't want a relationship with my dad while he continues to lie, gossip, judge, manipulate, and not offer unconditional love.

[melanieeeB]

My father died, but our relationship was non existent
And my mom and I are okay, got closer the last years but well it's okay

[Msputiton]

Sorry bout your dad, cuhh.
I'm glad your relationship with your momma is getting better.
Hope it keeps getting better

[melanieeeB]

Yeah we will see, but how about you tho?

[Msputiton]

I'm extremely close to my parents, my pops I'm the closest with.
I only keep one secret from them, everything else I'm open and honest with them about.

[melanieeeB]

Oh that's actually pretty cool, you're really lucky🙏🏼

[Msputiton]

Thanks, sis.
I agree. Very blessed

*sighs* where do I even start?

I’m not sure how my relationship is with my parents is. My mom is narcissistic, controlling, sometimes physically and verbally abusive. She gaslights me as well. It’s good on some days, and on the others it’s just t complete opposite.

My dad.. well, I’m not sure what to say about him. When my mom physically beats me, he doesn’t intervene, but after my mom stops beating me, he's like, “I’m sorry, just wait for a year and then you can move out” and stuff like that. He says bad stuff about me to my mom and fuels her anger. It’s so weird. I just don’t trust them anymore.

[StrawberryShake]

They know a decent amount about my personal life. I turned 18 this year so I still live with them.
My relationship with them is ok ish. My father is very strict and loves control. Each day I find myself resenting them more and more. I can't wait to move.

[Msputiton]

Well, hope it all works out for ya, cuhh

[StrawberryShake]

Thanks

[whirled_up_girl]

I get along great with both of my parents. I haven't shared that much with them about dating though. My mom knows about a few of the guys I've dated. My dad was raised catholic and two of his sister are nuns, one of his aunts was a nun, I'm pretty sure he wished I would have become a nun as well, lol.

[ARWINGx1]

For my mom,... <Sigh> where do I begin... Except that in short, being narcissistic is an understatement. I mean, she's been treating me so badly that (not gonna lie) if anything bad would happen to her, I couldn't care less.

My dad, may have been a "rollercoaster" during my childhood. But these past couple of years, it's been going upwards.

[PrettyPriya]

I have a great relationship with my parents, specifically my mum. I share just about everything with her.

[Cubus]

Good for you.

[dustybiker]

My mother was my best friend. She was taken from me too soon, just over a year ago. Opposite with the other.

What about you?

[Msputiton]

Aww, big hugs.
Yeah my parents are the best.
U
I actually share more with my pops than my momma.

[Anonymous]

I barely share anything with them. They want to know everything about the subject or what I think of it, so I just stay away from bringing it up to them.

They also think they can fix everything by us talking about it. I'd rather be the introvert that I am and not say anything. However, they won't leave me alone.

[MTC29]

My mom was a single mom. To this day, I worship the ground that she walks on.

[Msputiton]

Aww.

[KrisPW]

Good relationship with my dad, buy mom passed when I was young. We talk often, and I'm still a daddy's girl a lot of the time. He gets along well with my fiancé so all together, I share quite a bit of my life with him.

[ZS007]

I live with my parents so it's inevitable not to be close with them 🤣. I have a very different personality and opinions from them, and I think that results to some clashing between us. Overall, I love them even if they make me super angry at times.

[menina]

My parents were never real parents, so I can't say that I have a good relationship with them. I just tolerate them and once I'm fully independent they won't hear from me again.

[RebeccaBI2000]

I do. They are wonderful and open. I can talk to them about anything

[Msputiton]

That's great

[beebella]

We have an ok relationship. I don't share anything with them that they don't need to know.

[Msputiton]

Lmao gotcha, cuhh

[jess05]

Family is important, we don't always see eye to eye. But we try hard to be as close as possible 😊. It's ok to not always agree, as long as you love and respect each other, you both can benefit ❤️

[LilyDiamond]

I get along with one parent better than the other. As most do. I share certain things with one parent and not the other

[Lyndsielee666]

With my mom no, she’s never been in my life.
Me and my dad are closeish but I don’t share much with him.

[TrueConfection]

My dad and I are pretty close. Sometimes I forget he's still my dad and he'll get a little judgmental, but I share almost everything with him.

[exitseven]

My parents are both dead but when they were alive I had a pretty good relationship with them considering they were difficult. I never told them anything about my life.

[sheikalana]

I have a great relationship with my mom and a not so great relationship with my father. I share very little of my private life with them.

[Mia-Wallace]

Yeah. Not much. My mother died when I was 10. My father lives in another country.
