How long is longest you can be apart from your parents?

[Effably]

We live far apart and generally meet once or twice a year, barring any major situations.

I could probably be fine without any of that. Spent much of my youth and adult life apart as I moved away to study at 16 and never really came home.

It is pleasant to meet though. The subtle changes in how you view them is interesting. While I understood the practicalities and circumstances around parenthood from a young age I still feel that I can better appreciate it now. Knowing how my parents must have been fumbling about trying to figure out typical parent things is rather endearing.

And of course as a working individual now I have a rather different appreciation for things like my dad driving me and my sisters to or at least from our hobbies every day after his work. A small sacrifice I now understand much better. They did good.

I had a 22 month deployment. Didn't take R&R, so... that I guess.

I live pretty far from my parents. The longest we've been apart is about a month and a half.

Since my second parent died recently, I may soon find out. It is difficult to lose either parent, but when the second one passes, there is some kind of fundamental change in your life. You get a feeling that you are all alone in the world. It's unsettling. So how long can I bear it? I am not sure. Hopefully long enough so that I can hold out until I see them again.

changes.
when i was 5-6 i stayed in the streets for a month so i can say i can do it if i have to.
but i wouldn't like it even for a day (only exception is if i am with my mates or girls or other relatives)

[Nikki1989]

I have seen them once in the last 22 years.

[whistlingwh0res]

why?

[Nikki1989]

My parents disappeared out of my life when I was 12. I only saw them once more after that.

[strateguy632]

i managed to keep away since 2008, almost 20 years luckily.

[abc3643]

Pretty much forever since one is dead and the other lives 1500 miles away.

Dad died in 1999. My mum lives with me because of her health. Before that we were in different countries for a few years

[FunkyMonkee]

So far, 7.5 years since mom died, 18 since dad died.

[whistlingwh0res]

do you miss them?

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes. Especially since I've been completely alone for the past 3 years after my aunt died.

[IceCreamSandwich]

Indefinitely, I hope.

[serious]

There is no time limit.

[Anonymous]

22 years apparently.

[whistlingwh0res]

You don't talk to them at all?

[Opinion Owner]

I talk to my dad but he's passed away so, it'd kind of freak me out if he all of a sudden decided to talk back.

[KrakenAttackin]

My parents are dead.

[FenixG45]

We used to live far apart for 22 years

[NathanDavis]

no idea

[TheSpider]

50 years.
