Do you see your parents as a positive influence ??

@hunkalove Same here. I was not allowed to find a mate. Was yours by choice so as not to be like them? Or did they actually actively stop you from marrying as my mother did?

@greenmountaingal I just wasn't interested in getting married. My father worked very hard at two jobs and obviously hated his life and everyone in it. I remember being very young and thinking if that's what it's like to be a father I never want to be one.
