Are you more like your mom or dad?

In what ways?
I'd say I'm more like my mom emotionally but more like my dad charismatically

@SW-User I was scared until I seen if Mom was there and if she was what kind of mood she was in
I used to pray she would die ,and then hear a siren and pray it wasn't for her ,,it was always a love hate relationship

@SW-User omg! You know i never did crazy stuff. Ye t i was accused to be a bad boy since childhood and since then i am still accused. Which made me alcoholic and depressed.

@SW-User I got accused of things i never did early on, so i thought since i'm being punished for these, i might as well do some of the harmless ones, like sneaking out at night etc.

@rckt148 Gosh she sounded scary, sorry you had one like that. Mine was just crazy. It was dad who would drink and start hitting us kids, but later on he stopped, i think it was his way of coping with my mother's moods.

@SW-User My Dad worked all the time to avoid Mom
when he was gone so was she
She left me with a long list of chores and they better be done right
Or she beat the crap out of you ,then if Dad asked her why something wasn't done ,,her excuse was she had trouble with us ,and he woke mainly me and whipped me over a lie
He told me after punching me in the head for telling my brothers to do something (I was more of a parent they our parents were to them ,even after our parents died ,they always came to me ,not Mom and Dad )
He told me if I could run my own home to get out
I had a friend with a room I could rent ,Grandpa gave me a job ,I moved
I moved my first wife in with me when I was 14 ,married her when I was 16
and was in boot camp 2 weeks after I turned 17
My wife and I both wanted as far away from Mom as we could get
Mom slapped her a few times too ,,out of respect for me she didn't retaliate
My wife was a scrapper ,,she could have kicked Moms butt
and she wanted to for how she treated me ..but I begged her
that is my Mom ,please don't ever hit her ,,she will shoot you
Mom always carried a pistol in her purse ,,when she ran her mouth
no one gave her any crap back
When she beat the hell out of us ,the only one who tried to stop her was grandma
She died when I was 12 ,,she was the only one that ever defended me
another Aunt defended my brothers ..She was hell ,,but she was my only Mom

@rckt148 Geez, I thought my parents were bad, i can't imagine surviving that. My mother never hit us, it was just dad which is why i also joined the army after school to get away from him. It sounded like your mom would bully anyone who got in her way. Hope you finally managed to get away from her for good.

@SW-User She passed away in 2013
I took care of her and supported her the last 14 months of her life
I took care of Dad the last 3 yrs of his
I learned one thing from Dad that matters about anything else
Forgiveness ,holding resentment for others only hurts you
They have not given you a second thought ,,being mean to people is just what bullies do ,,I forgave her ,I turned out to be kind like Dad
not mean like her ,,she was bipolar ,so I cut her slack for that

@rckt148 Sounds like a good way to be. I did something similar with my dad. I was terrified of him growing up but i learned as i got older that he mellowed and his anger was really just him trying to cope with my mother's nagging and controlling behaviour. Him and i finally really bonded much later in life. I was really happy about that.
