Question

Alessa13 · Accepted Answer

On the biological side. I have no idea who my father is, my mother never cared much for my sister or myself. Was always too busy working or dating. Some stuff I won't go into details here happened and we were put into foster care right before I turned 13.

She didn't want to do anything to get us back, said the state had no right to take us away and would do nothing to get us back.

I have had, little contact with her since. My foster parents were more parents to me than she was, and I do keep in touch with them. I consider them to be more my parents than the others.

They are older though and out of touch with me and my life, but I do talk to them a few times a week, it is a good relationship.

My mom and I are doing very good nowadays, also since I moved out and she started to work on herself and read into therapy and therapy-selfhelp-books our relationship got better.

My biological father was an awful men, thankfully I had no contact with him from age 6 on and he also finally left this earth nearly 2 years ago. May his soul suffer for eternity.

My ex stepfather is an egoistical bastard with whom I never had a real relationship to start with and also decided to kick him out of my life few years ago. There is no reason to build anything now. (Including him cause he was together with my mom for 16 years)

Adam1978 · Answer

Strained, because my mother is a toxic woman, ie turning her self into a helpless victim and blaming anyone that does not do their best to improve her situation. and she can't hold a conversation without pushing new age religious crap that she is so gullible to swallow word by word just because the author claims the knowledge comes from the other side.

comekitty · Answer

Yes, I'm close with my parents but probably closer with my mom. I've always been able to talk to my mom easily. My dad 🤔 well... he's not a very good listener but always has something to say about everything. I love them both a lot, though and appreciate everything they've done for me through the years.

serious · Answer

Well, my relationship with my parents is good. Just good enough. Well, I live and work in another city and from time to time I do visit my parents, my younger brother etc.

Chances of living in one house as a big family are less. Given how things are.

qwert1234 · Answer

Close.

I honestly still live with them after my prev relationship broke down.. Extra housing is too expensive and unnecessary if you don't have girlfriend/wife. They are retired, I pay bills. It's unnecessary for me to pay 2 bills too lol.

ChiTown33 · Answer

My father passed when I was 26. I'm in a family full of women. I got four sisters and my mom. Even though one of my sisters has passed as well. But yeah, since my dad's passing I consider it my job to look after them. Not that they need it. They're all really strong women.

NostalgiaSenpi · Answer

I'm close with my dad, but not my mother. My dad raised me on his own while mom was a rolling stone, going all over the country. She never was around when she said she would be or at all. I broke contact with her for a decade, from eighteen to twenty eight and we reconciled since then. I got to see her after my brain surgery.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

I don’t seem to have contact with my father, who lives in another continent. My mum can be sweet often but quite nasty other times. I want to start a new family in another country, be it Morocco, Philippines, or Indonesia. I can still get contact with my siblings, though.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

I never been close to my dad, in fact back in 2018 I had 18 years since I saw my dad at age 12 and barely spoke to him on the phone maybe once every 5 years or so, but I now see my dad once every 9 months to 1 year and we get along fine. I still highly respect my dad.

As for my mom I don't know what "close" means to you but I been with my mom my whole life and I deeply love my mother and respect her too as my mother.

MrPickles13 · Answer

I don't have a close relationship, for verying reasons. Not having boundaries, the double standards. The fact my sister is a favourite and well there constant attempted to talk about my dating life to the point they have spent years assuming I'm either gay or going to be alone for my life. The fact that they do have a fair amount to play in both my anxiety and my self confidence issues.
