Your Relationship with your Parents

My relationship with my parents is rather distant... Never really hung out with my dad (he was always overseas, but spoke to us often on the phone) so it's a little awkward with him. My mom... strained. She's kind of this traditional freak, though she's been trying to be alittle less uptight. However, speaking to either of them about anything like clubbing, drinking, and boyfriends is essentially impossible without getting into major trouble of sorts for even bringing it up.

This is coming from a chick who was not allowed to sleep over friends house, not allowed to go out past 10 pm or have a boyfriend that my parents knew about until i was 21 (at first) or out of college (once they realised i hit 18 yrs). I was repressed by their expectations for the most part when I was still living with them...
