Not really.. As I age I have learned that it is time for me to stop trying to please everyone in my family esp. my parents. I grew up in a very dysfunctional family and being an adult I don't have the time to deal with all the drama and bs that they created over the years. Because of their mistakes, I have to live with the emotional scares they have placed upon me as an adult, and it wasn't fair for them to put their kids in the middle. So, I speak to both parents but as for being close to either of them. They are divorced and still have issues dealing with their past and I don't care to hear about it anymore.. So, lesson to all those parents who are married and hating their relationship.. Get out of it, it isn't fair to let your kids live and grow up in a house full of lies, fighting, and hate.. The whole till death doesn't apply when kids emotional well being is at stake..

I'm pretty close with my mom. My dad and I have an interesting relationship...don't always get on about things.

My Dad and I always have had a good relationship. My mom and I started getting along after I moved out.

My father passed 21 years ago and my mother is a toxic individual so I haven't spoken to her in years. I found a wonderful replacement for her though.

Not at all. My parents divorced when I was a baby, so I don't know my father. And my mother isn't/wasn't a very good mother.

I'm close with my mom. i don't talk to my dad.
10/19/2012
Yes. I actually rented a house that is down the block from them.
10/19/2012
Yes, I see them all the time. I've my parents.
10/19/2012
Very close with my dad, and close with my mum as well. We see each other often
10/19/2012
Only with my dad. My mother and I aren't close no more. She broke my trust and ruined my respect for her, and now she expects us to be close when she knows there's no way I can be anymore.
10/19/2012
yes. I see them about 3 times a month, and talk to them every few days. They enjoy spending time with my boys. We spend the holidays with them every year.

Very close to my Mom. And very glad I don't have to deal with my father.
10/19/2012
Nope. I go for months without speaking to my dad, years without speaking to my mom, and don't even get me started on any of the multiple step-parents I have. It's just too much drama and anxiety to deal with.
10/19/2012
Very. I moved closer to help look after them.
10/20/2012
pretty close - we talk almost every day
10/20/2012
Yep, we talk a lot and we're pretty close. It's nice to have people I can go to for advice
10/20/2012
For the most part - we talk pretty often.
10/20/2012
We're close. Closer than when I was growing up. I think it helps that I am married and on my own . My dad and I have the same personality, and if we are around eachother too much we clash
