How is your relationship with your parents and did it change while growing up?

Mine is good. Not pretty close, but it's fine.

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.

@FCNantes maybe you remind her of your dad and it makes her sad?

@Candy153 Nah. It's more to do with her reduced patience/lower threshold of anger since his death. It's also possible things could've gone a bit downhill, but I'd be surprised to find out that his death didn't have a significant impact.
