I wish I had better parents really. I feel my never really gave me the support I needed in life, I see other people's children and they are succeeding so well, their parents help them every step of the way. What about me? No one helps me ever, what little I have achieved I did it myself.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Ah do, and ah don't... Well, ah love ma mum, despite her dour, pessimist attitude. But she been through a lot in her life - being a single parent cannae be easy when ye huv 3 kids. And she's got a great, surreal, nonsensical sense uh humour. We git along, but there are times where we can argue aboot summit.
Ma dad, well... He wuz intimidatin' African bloke and a total c%*t - a bit like Robert Mugabe, in that respect.
Ah cannae say ah like 'em - ah didnae. But ah never knew 'em, either. Coz he wuz'nae really a part uh ma life, until ma teens. Ah also felt he didnae like me aw that much. But then he a control-freak - probably one reason why him and ma mum seperated when ah wuz jist a few months old.

I like and love my parents to life.
They raised me quite well and I do appreciate them for this.
Sometimes I worry something awful will happen to them. But then I start to pray and my worries leave my mind one by one.
I will love my mommy and daddy.....always.....

Why not? You have no relationship with them? :-(
I like my mum as much as anyone else in the world.
She was never terribly supportive of me - Im not sure she knows what that actually means (just SAYING "I support you" isn't the same as DOING - supporting someone is an action, not a statement). She blatantly preferred my brothers over me.
But then, I didn't have a particularly terrible childhood or anything, I guess she did as much as she could do.
I didn't grow up with my dad, but saw him in the school holidays. He wasn't a great dad and I didn't get to know him very well, but he wasn't terrible. He had some serious problems of his own.
I am just a little more attached to them than other people in the world because Ive known them my whole life and grew up with them.
Everyone has bad points, everyone has good points. Everyone is human, I don't really see the difference. I don't expect anything from either of them.

I love my mom dearly.
She's not exactly the warmest person,but I've always been close with her.
My dad on the other hand...
I hate to say it,but I kinda dislike him the older I get.
It sucks to grow up and realize that man you looked up to for so many years is a coward and a selfish *******.

Well, my father abandoned me when I was like two and I reconnected with him when I was 17. Three years ago we had a falling out over my older son and I wrote him off completely. He's dead to me.
Mom? What a psycho. She was abusive to me all of my childhood, physically and mentally, until one day she punched me in the face when I was 15 or so and I ****ed her up and told her to never do that again. Things were decent after that until a few months ago we had a fight and she tried to kidnap my daughter at school. So I put her in her place with mere words and she now knows to leave my children alone now... or else.
That's pretty much 'it' as they say. I have a great relationship with my grandparents who raised me and with my uncle who's been like a dad/big brother/ best friend and his wife who has been around since I was just a toddler and she's like a big sister I never had. They're all awesome.

My parents were far from perfect, but they had mental issues and addiction problems, and it is fair to say I was a terrible teenager as well. But with time everyone got a little wiser and healthier, and now even though the less I see them the better I feel, I would not want anything bad happening to them and I want them to be happy.

I am really sorry about your parents. I believe God can heal any broken relationships. Would you ever like to bond with them? I know they have done some horrible things to you, but if you remember and resent the bad things they did to you, you are only hurting yourself. I know this is so hard and probably unthinkable to you but why not forgive and forget instead?:thumbup:
No. Thanks for trying to be encouraging but no. Absolutely not. Ever. You must have missed the part about trying to kidnap my daughter. Forgive and forget, HA! I've forgave and forgot all my life when i went to school with black eyes and cuts from her beatings when she was around but not anymore.

Love them to death. They gave me life, fed me, bought me clothes, put me through school. I own them so much. As with any family there are always good and bad. Remember that parents will always want the best for their children. Always. Also remember that parents are just people who makes mistakes and do wrong things just like anyone else. See the bs and see the good. Put them in their place when they get out of hand. Also remember that you make mistakes also

Things have really changed with them since they are on up and age now. My Mom is still the worrier and still cares about me.. especially when I am not around. My Dad has grown very bitter and takes his health and physical problems out on me and my Mom.. which I really dislike. He is one unhappy person, refuses to get medical treatment, both knees almost shot from deterioration, lives in pain..etc. He is one mean man to me and my Mom. I still like my Mom.. but I can't say that about Dad any more!
