They were/are pure evil, spent most of my childhood blaming myself. As an adult I know you can't fix evil.

They were totally unprepared for parenthood and as their first child, I experienced the brunt of their inexperience. We haven't spoken in about a decade and I don't anticipate ever seeing them again.

I have no ill-will towards them, I just know that their personalities make it impossible for me to want to rekindle anything. They aren't malicious people, but have a very rigid perception of the world that makes communication toxic. So for the sake of my own mental health, I stay as far away as possible.

I guess the only thing that changed was that once I realized I didn't need them in my life, I could voluntarily exclude them, whereas when I was younger, I thought I was completely dependent on them. I gained a lot of my own independence by realizing that the support structure I had couldn't support me

My relationship with my father didn't change much up until his death 5 years ago. I think there's been a certain degree of strain with my mother since soon after. I don't think she likes me, which's too bad. Then again, I'm not sure I like her, either. We still love each other, but I think a closer relationship would be preferable.
Tbh, I've long accepted to just cut my losses & focus more on other more easily controllable things.

My mom died by cancer when I was 12.
I still live with my stepdad who is strict and controlling.

I don't have a relationship with them, they were killed in 2006.

It's good. My parents and I have always been close. :)

My parents are dead, they were both very strict up til their deaths
I wasn't sad when they died, but I wasn't overjoyed either.

Mine was good, didn’t change

I dont know when I was really young because my dad was always deployed and my mom worked one or two jobs so I was in daycare a lot. Then in middle and high-school it got really bad. It got better when I was pregnant with my son. It is way better now, though I still won't open up to them about any problems.

We get along great

been alright with my mam with my dad was not so good just seemed to get worse as an adult we would wind each other up now he is no longer around i regret this greatly and wish things where better and the biggest regret was how i treat and spoke to him at times @candy153

I live with my single mom, we are very close, we always share everything with each other and take care of each other

My parents are divorced. I was really close with my mom up until she passed on. I am close with my dad.

It’s improved. They finally realized I’ve been right for 40 years 😏

We get along great. We even invited them to move in, as our home is big enough for a dozen families. They declined.

Mine was always great! In my late teens, I felt like my mom was holding me back, but it wasn’t true!

Mine is very close.... with my mother. My father passed when I was 12... (but we were close).

It's okay, which is better than I could've said some time ago.

we've been very close from an early age.

Well aww naw.. I won’t even go there.

Idk what's going on

Great now
Very rough while growing up

It got bad. We're good now.

I’m close to mom.

If definitely changed after I left home and they started seeing me as a self-sufficient adult. But to be fair, they evolved too. They actually went from being somewhat strict “children should be seen, not heard” parents to being a lot more flexible and open, especially with my niece. Now, they’re actually like friends, and I love talking with and visiting them.

Both of my parents have been dead for along time.

Much better now. They evolved as parents considerably, not that they bad before, but once they stopped parenting the way they had been parented, they were much improved.

They are the reason I’m a social worker who lacks morals and integrity And shares naughty stuff with pervs online

Very good now they are dead...😀
