Do you ever feel sad for your parents? I mean my mother doesn't have a crap life or anything but i just feel bad for her sometimes. Step dads always out and shes staying home for work and shit. I dno, like i said sometimes I'll think about it and it'll dampen my mood. I dont live in the same city as them any more but i really need to connect with her somehow. I NEED to. When she passes i know it'll devastate me and I'll end up being haunted by not knowing her as well is I'd like. I'm just not a big convo started. Had to get that out. Anyone else ever feel this way?

I definitely feel the same When I think about either of my parents and parts of them that are blatantly unhappy (unhappy marriage as well)...like my father who works so much and provides everything for our family including me going to college. and them him being treated like shit when he comes home from work and no one even acknowledges him for what he does for us. then my mom who was cancer and doesn't get to do all the things she wants to do in her life + her friends basically dropping her because they cant deal with HER having cancer. total bullshit
It gets to me quite often and I make a point of calling my mom pretty regularly
I used to have tough times with my dad but now that I'm older I try and be nice and make a point to being thankful for what he does for me
thought I was weird and the only one

Your empathy for your parents is healthy and I feel the same way. I just turn it into appreciation - appreciate the sacrifices they made for you, putting you before themselves. Parents FTMFW

yup. I think of my mom, dad, and Aunt as my parents. Its scary to stop and think how old they are getting. Like pretty within my lifetime they won't be able to take care of themselves financially and otherwise, and it rests on i, or my brother to make something of ourselves, or else they will have to die in a home or something. Which would be the epitomy of wrong, seeing as they have taken care of many of our elderly relatives.
Or when i see how they only see they'r friends once every several months/ years, and are stuck in work/sleep/survive mode.
Is that going to be my life?
