Do you see your parents as a positive influence ??

No I didn't. But in an ironic way they were. Because they were so negative and neglectful and abusive It made me understand at a very young age what I NEVER wanted to be. And I never was :)

Nope. I can’t even count her to be an ally.

I call the whole experience learning by contrast.

My parents were horrible people. The positive influence they had on me is that I never married or had children.

To some degree i suppose.
Me struggling in middle-age and them struggling in old-age probably means we have more 'common enemies' these days than ever before.

Mothers an untreated schizophrenic and father is an abusive alchoholic.... sooo HELL NO

They taught me EXACTLY what not to do

Thank you for my first laugh of the day!😅 My parents have been gone for a long time now. They were real characters, worthy of a movie, and sometimes I actually miss them. But, no, for the most part, they were [i]not[/i] a positive influence in my life.

For the details of my bizarre parents and my B movie life, you can read my Featured story.

My mother, for sure: she's the kindest person I know❤
My father??? Well,let's see the glass half full: I'm a pefectionist and a hardworking person because of the high expections he had of me(glass half empty: I will never be good enough)

They are both deceased, however, I suppose they were a positive influence on me in the sense that they gave me examples of what I didn't want to be like...person, parent, spouse, friend, employee, etc. 😏

Mostly.

No

Don't remember them . But i guess dna does have some influence on who i am .

PArents are fallible human beings. So, yes and no

A very mixed bag of influence.
