My father has passed, but my mom I talk to every other week or so. See her about every other month or more depending on what is happening. I have tried to get her to move in with us but she likes her independence and social circle close to her.
Haven't seen or talked to my mom in a year. I'm closer to her than my other siblings but throughout my life there's times where we don't talk for years 🤷 I get along with my dad well. We butted heads till I turned 18 & I disappeared for 3 or 4 years. Now I like to spend time with him in his garage where he works on cars & we just be learning & chatting
Lost my mom last month, so both are gone now. When they were both here, I spent a lot of time with them. They were only 3 hours away, and I had a great relationship with both.
I see my mom once a week, really to see how she's doing. She's getting very forgetful and sometimes needs me to drive her places because shes too anxious about going out sometimes. I make sure shes taken care of and has food in her house. She doesn't like anything and will often chew gum for dinner, or maybe have some popcorn. Its gotten worse as shes venom forgetful.
I see my dad less, but he's got a girlfriend now so he's back to not needing me much. Hes always had an out of sight, out of mind relationship with me, I'm fine with it as long as he is ok.
We've never been a close family, but I need to know they are ok.

I love both my father and mother. One is gone for many years now who ripped me apart with how he died, but I learned my love for him instead of anger from. My mother now tries to give her love to carry his .... and I want to tell her, his love was only his to give, while you knew it intimately, you have to trust your children and their love. So, yes, with love.
I have a good relationship with my parents. For a while, I was meeting with them every weekend for breakfast and drinks at a local bar. We only had to stop because my mom had surgery. Once she's healed, I'm hoping we can start having our weekend get-togethers again.
I lost both my parents in 2001, 3 months apart. We were never close at all. In fact, I can easily say they seemed to dislike me quite a bit. I was sad when they passed of course, but they never wanted me around them anyway, so I never had the opportunity to spend much time with them once I moved out on my own
I see my mom occasionally but we don’t really spend time together. We’ve started sending each other animal videos. And my dad usually brings me food or invites me over for dinner once a week, and we talk a little bit. He sends me pictures of things. We spend time together on holidays and vacation.
I see them off and on. The relationship is pretty strained at this point though. They're back down the religious rabbit hole and I just have zero time for it after everything I've been through.
I haven't seen either of my parents in 8 years. My dad doesn't talk to me at all, my mom texts me every day but our relationship is rocky because she's a super religious Conservative and a narcissist.
We had issues when they kicked me out when I was 16. The relationship was pretty strained. I recently repaired the relationship and we basically talk every other day now
