Great relationship with both my mom and dad. I feel very grateful for them. They don’t fight hardly at all, and have always put my health first. My mom is more of an utilitarian, or practical person, while my dad is more abstract and able to understand my mental illness the best I’ve seen any normie do. They augment each other quite well.

It is weird. Deep down. I still have this childhood fantasy. If I manage to be sweet and perfect…they will heal their childhood wounds…and be whole…and love me for who I am…and everyone will be kind to each other…and all will be good. Not gonna work. I tried. But still.

I don’t believe my parents that I grew up with are my real parents.
They are not my real parents.
The “father” I had molested me.
I always loved him unconditionally but felt uncomfortable around him and sometimes he said horrible things etc.
I have had nice friendly phone calls with him but in person it’s too uncomfortable.
It’s complicated and difficult with both “parents “ I grew up with.
The mother was abusive .she didn’t hit me as such but she was abusive in other ways and later was abusive with her new husband rideculing me and mocking my pain with hate.
I always had unconditional love for her too.
They always remembered my birthdays and Christmas and they had nice moments too but it was and Is difficult complicated relationships.
I can’t stand it in a way.
“ my whole family “ is not my real family and I get hated on by most of them or suppressed agressively.
They were unable to love and appreciate me.
It hurt when I gave them love and got hate back.
I know I have a real mother and father .
I hope to have them in my life miraculously somehow.
I actually can’t stand being with most of my “family” because they don’t treat me well and don’t love me and think I’m inferior to them.
I actually want to get away from them and see some as my enemy.

I’m on good terms with my parents.
I’m finally not mad at them anymore for being abusive while we were growing up.

Mom was a good mom. She died 4 years ago tomorrow. Dad was abusive until he couldn’t talk anymore because of dementia. He died in 2010. I was one of his caregivers.

I’m on good terms with both my parents.
My mum has some specific challenges that clash with me because I have those challenges too. But aside from that, me and my mum are getting on well.

I was raised an only child by a single mother. She left my dad in early pregnancy and he didnt know that she was pregnant. So he never knew i existed until i randomly found him when i was around 25 years old. Also i found that i had some half brothers from him. Hung out here and there with them. He died a couple years ago from cancer. I occasionally talk to my mum through text these days and dont see her much at all. She lives really far away. But we are on good terms nonetheless. I dunno. Ive distanced myself from family a lot as an adult. I tend to push people away because of anxiety and mental health stuff.

I am on the best terms ever with my parents, especially my dad. They’ve both been dead for years.

I have a good relationship with my parents and talk to them every day by phone. That said, our relationship improved by a zillion when I moved 5000 miles away from them. I also learned how to not be codependent with them when I moved.

I am close to my mom but was mostly distant from my biological father when he died last year. I love my mom and see her all the time.

We get along. Mom avoids anything unpleasant (like MI or anything medical), so I tend to talk to Dad more. Dad also always answers the phone. We don’t agree on a lot of things, but I’m glad he’s there.

I got a long with my Mom very much when she was alive.
I loved her very much and she displayed a lot of empathy.
I live with my father and I owe him a lot so now the tables are turning.
I’m his caregiver now.
I care about him very much but sometimes he drives me up the wall!

I am very thankful to my mom that she admitted me in hospital and I found treatment of schizophrenia.
I respect her very much. But i don’t like the way she thinks or talked to me.
