I was just curious what type of relationship everyone has with their parents? Are you really close? Are you closer to one than the other? Do you talk often and spend a lot of time together?
It seems I was closer especially to my mom when I was younger, and not so much now. I think we are just too much alike and clash sometimes. We are also very different in ways too and I feel I can't share too much with her because I know we are both set in seeing things entirely different and I'd rather not get myself all worked up since I get upset easily. It's basically the same with my dad. We see and talk to each other about once a week, we just don't share many of the same interests and unfortunately my mom can be pretty down-beat and negative a lot and I find myself feeling more down after I talk to her. As much I love them, I just feel like I have to distance myself at times because as much as I hate it... they do make me feel down often after we talk. I feel guilty for feeling this way but I just can't help it, I feel so much happier when I'm with Sash. He's so much happier and upbeat, which makes me feel better!
Would love to hear others stories of your relationships with your parents, if you care to share.
