You and your parents/guardians

[Dragon]

How well do you get along with your mother and father, or anyone else that has raised you?

For the most part, mom and I get along great, with some annoyances here and there, but that's just small, normal stuff. Dad and I don't live together, but we also get along; though it iiiis taxing at times when he's in need of money... but it's nothing too bad that I can't handle.

My mom passed in 2011 and we... didn't have a good relationship. We were better roommates and only ever interacted in the most toxic of ways. I love(d) her but she just wasn't a mom to me.

My dad and I however have an AWESOME relationship, especially after the divorce. It took many years of him getting sober and me not being such a angsty, dumb teen.. but I wouldn't trade the bond I have with him for the world. My dad is the second most important man in my life and someone I can always rely on.

I get along with both. My father wasn't always really a father (his drinking used to be REALLY bad) but I know he loved me nonetheless. Now he's basically my biggest support, he always reassures me he loves me and will be there for me, tbh it makes me cry sometimes because I feel so grateful.

I had awesome relationships with both of my parents. Unfortunately, they have both passed away with Dad in 2008 and Mom just recently in 2019. I couldn't ask for better parents I really couldn't. We had the usual fighting and arguing through the years but I wish I could have them both back.

I have almost the exact same personality as my mother, so we get along very well. My dad has passed away.

I hated my dad when I was younger, now I'm neutral. I text him for Christmas every year and that's about it. We have some common ground with our interests but we are not compatible people and he wasn't a good parent even after my mum divorced him. It was a blessing when he moved interstate so the weekend custody arrangement stopped. He's not a particularly bad person, but not cut out for family life. His mum is amazing though.

I have a very good relationship with my mum though. We're very similar people and she put a huge amount of effort in to help me learn to cope with things I otherwise couldn't. That isn't to say it's always been sunshine and rainbows, we've definitely had our issues, but it's rarely something that's been a lasting problem.

My parents divorced when I was a young child and my sister and I were primarily raised by my mother. We visited my father every other weekend and I had a lot of resentment towards him as a child because I knew that his infidelity was the reason for my parent's separation. My mother, however, I've always been extremely close with. We have very similar personalities and she's one of the strongest, most hardworking people I know. My grandparents took care of my sister and I when my mom was attending university and I'm immensely close with them as well. They are older, my grandfather's pushing ninety, but they're ridiculously selfless and kind.

My relationship with my father has since improved. He was somewhat strict with my sister and I when we were younger and he had various relationships with some unpleasant women, though he's a lot more carefree these days. He lives on an acreage out of town and I try to visit him when neither him nor I are busy. He has an amazing sense of humour for sure, I'll give him that.

I get along well with my mother. Don't really have any complaints about her. We're both bad about calling each other though so I don't talk with her much. Whoops.

My father died when I was 5, so I don't remember much about him. I blame him for getting me into Nintendo though -- one of the few memories I have of him is when I watched him beat Super Mario World. Honestly, even when I'm visiting my father's side of the family, I don't ask questions about him. I've never been curious. He's gone. And I have major, major issues with "out of sight, out of mind" mentality for people no longer in my life, even when they're alive. See: me not talking to my mom, even though I love her.

My stepdad... I get along with him, but he's not the best parent out there. He's always been sexist and racist. His punishments could be extremely disproportionate, too. He's really got the boomer mindset (though idk if he actually is in the boomer age range?). That said, he's always treated me well. Though part of that might've been being the "good kid"? My stepbrothers and older sister butted heads with him as teens, but I was the quiet one whose idea of pushing boundaries was staying on the computer all day instead of going outside.

Overall, could've ended up a lot worse.

Haven't seen or talked to my mom for over 5 years now, so I guess you can say that that has gone to hell.

My dad on the other hand, well we get along fairly well.
