Have you connected enough with your parents?
    #7411343 - 09/14/07 10:37 PM (16 years, 4 months ago)

I'm 22, and both my parents are fairly old. I live 2 hours away for college, so I rarely hear from them except when I talk to them on the phone, and I often ignore them when they do try to call me. I am extremely thankful for them - for what exactly, I don't know. I just know I am and that they mean a lot to me, but I've never connected to them and often have looked down upon them, and I feel awful for that. But I feel like there has always been a gap; like they were always a little unhappy with me and me always a little unhappy with them as family.

But I don't know how I could possibly ever let them know how much I love them despite everything, and I want them to know that before they die. Anyone know what I mean?

I'm really high right now so this post might seem that way. Maybe it's just highness, maybe it's something genuine.

I always had an amazing relationship with my parents. My Mother died pretty young (she was 45) but I never had any doubts that she knew how I felt right up until the day she was gone. And a few years after that I wrote poem for my Father on Fathers Day titled "My Hero". I wanted to be sure he knew how I saw him while he was still alive.

I feel sorry for those who don't share the kind of love I have shared with my parents. They are truly my inspirations in life and I am fortunate to have had such a fantastic upbringing.

with my mother, it's a love/hate relationship. she knows i love her and am grateful for everything she's sacrificed and done for me, but we don't always see eye to eye and argue quite a bit.

my biological father i don't really know. i've met him twice in my life. once when i was 14 and once when i was 20, almost 21 (just recently). this last time was the first time i had seen him sober. the first time i met him, well, i'm not going to get into that. he's tried to connect with my sister and i now that he's sober, but he lives in Florida so that makes it hard. at least he calls on our birthday now (well, 2 years running so far, we'll see if he remembers next year).

my step-dad (he raised me, i call him dad) and i used to be really close when i was younger, and we still are, but it's different now. i dunno. i guess i get along fairly well with my parents for the most part and have a good relationship with them most of the time.

i'm also still kind of young and there is a good possibility that i still don't fully understand or completely appreciate everything they've done for me.

My mom and I hardly speak. She adopted me at the age of 10 and I was all sorts of fucked up from the foster care system. Almost seven years in that cluster fuck. I moved out when I was 16 because I couldn't stand her anymore. She is nuts. None of my friends growing up liked her, my wife can't stand her. She once yelled at me for two hours about something that I was completely innocent of and had really no idea what she was talking about. Then, after my dad and sister came home and heard her yelling and defended me, she realized it was all just a dream she had that night and laughed. Then she acted like nothing had happened. She always expected me to fuck up every corner I turned growing up, she scorned me for my every action.

My dad and I have a lot in common. However, we have a hard time keeping a good relationship because my mom is constantly driving a wedge between us. She always rewording what I say to him and telling me that I don't care about him nor do I love him. She doesn't seem to understand that she wants that to be the truth. I love her, but in a way I wish she was not around. My father and I would be far closer than we are today. I call him at work just to avoid talking to her. I wish things were better between us, but something is just not right in her head and she feels that I am this dark, evil monster. She even told my friend's family who took me in so I could finish high school that I was a monster. I proved her wrong as always and finished high school and other than fucking my friend's little sister, I never did that family any wrong.

Anyways, I'm rolling and talking my ass off right now. I have a hard time loving my mother for all of the shit she put me through for the few years I was there. I wish I had a better stronger relationship with my dad. I have finally built up the courage enough that I want to take my dad camping and open up to him about how I feel about my mom. I don't think he knows a lot about what was going on, as I had a hard time talking to them about much of anything. I just hope that I have the courage to talk to him when (and if) the time comes and that he understands. He's a good man. He himself has put up with a lot of shit from that bitch. I would have ended that shit for some of the crap she does to him. Oh well, it's his life.

i have a great relationship with my parents. they have been the best i could hope for. taught me a lot, didn't coddle me too much, but still supported me. i am very thankful for them, pretty tough to put into words exactly how much i love them. i feel sorry for them sometimes though, that they are unhappy with their occupations and life choices. and i am afraid to talk to them about it...not sure if it even needs talking about, but yeah...

i really wish i had a good relationship with my parents but i dont at all and most of my life theyve just made things more difficult for me. rarely, theyll try being cool with me and talk or something, but when theres so much past turmoil its pretty hard to expect much or even let them in and when you try they just hurt you again... well thats my experience.. i wish they hadnt done the things they did to me in the past and i wish they were different people so i could actually talk to them and be close with them because theyre just not like that.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein

You could tell them. :heart:

One's relationship with one's parents is one of the most challenging in life. 

As I have matured I have discovered that my parents are still maturing as beings as well, and that both parties still have a lot to learn from one another about love, communication, open-mindedness.

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”
