Name something loving or positive your parents said/did to you...

That helped you grow and empower you. 🌷💕
a simple, random "i love you" and a hug went a long way

They were awesome. I can’t think of just one thing.

We were too poor When we were kids and we did not have Barbie dolls or the kinds of toys our friends Had. My mother used to draw paper dolls And all of the outfits for us.

My dad was just always there for usFor everything

Dad took me everywhere. Even paid for me to go to Germany. Even if it was by myself.

@DeWayfarer are you still there 🤣

@GovanDUNNY dad couldn't afford to go himself! He did everything that he could to make certain that I had the best! Especially concerning life experiences.

Well they got me into ball, I gained confidence playing ball, I was also the #1 pitcher so that helped, the only time I felt worthy and happy was playing ball.

@Jeephikelove Aww that is wonderful :) You are worthy regardless as well... just in being a human and being You 💜

@Coralmist thank you, I know that now because of decades of working on myself, still a bit more to go but I have come a long way!

They didnt really. My dad left when i was 7, we wont mention the stepdads and my mum went to pieces in her 2nd marriage that was extremely violent. By the time she got it together i left home.

They took us on vacations to mountains. I helped plan. We also went to the longest cave system in the world, Mammoth Cave in KY.

In a relationship, opposites attract. Pick someone with enough similarities for you two to relate and connect, but also enough differences for you to stay interested in each other and get outside your comfort zones. They also told me NOT to get a student loan for college, so at least now I'm working a minimum wage job without student debt. These unfortunately don't fully make up for the overflowing negative experiences I had with them.

Mother took me on "date night" as a kid getting dressed up, opening the car door, the restaurant door, pulling the chair out and pushing it back in for her, standing when she stood and so on, but years later I realized she was teaching me proper etiquette and manners and how to treat a woman. That's just one of many things she passed on to me.

They did what they thought was important as parents, such as taking care of me and making sure I received a good education. But, they didn't spend the time to know and support my specific needs as an individual, leaving me in a state of emotional/mental distress and deprivation. Not entirely their fault, though, since I was an introvert and kept a lot to myself.

Whenever I would apologize for doing something wrong, my very stern mother would tell me “Don’t be sorry, just try again.” I always took it as being sorry for not getting something right doesn’t help anything, getting better at it does. Don’t apologize, just be better.
Treated I and my brothers like gentlemen, so we grew up to be gentlemen. Enrolled me in some schools, and gave us the best love and support they could. As I became an adult it all changed for the worst 😔
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@mindlessdrifter Aww it sounds like they were really involved and loving parents :) I wouldn't say it changed for the worst my friend- you are one of the kindest people I know, and a True gentleman. 🪻
@Coralmist Thank you but I felt a lot of verbal and physical abuse because I was the oldest and my mother was a bitter alcoholic. Yet it didn't stop me from being a good person. I never stopped being a gentleman
