Your Relationship with your Parents

I wish I had had parents that pushed me to pursue a better education.

My relationship with my Mother, who is in the States, has improved a ton over the last few years. I used to lose my temper with her easily and often, and it really bothered her and I can't blame her. I've finally learned to let go of the past and just accept her for the fact that she's my mother and I'll never have another. Now we talk, and although I impatiently snap at her every once in a while I've gotten and am getting much better. She loves me (a little too protective though) and I love her.

My father, on the other hand, I can say I've seen a good three weeks worth of time in my life (only because I lived with him the majority of those three weeks of accumulated days) in the last year and probably the rest of my life, for that matter. I have never met a man I was so much alike yet so different to. Extremely intelligent, extremely Catholic, extremely traditional and extremely closeminded. I'd beat the living shit out of him if he weren't my father and if he weren't 67. That sums him up.

Sorry about this ancient bump. I checked someone's profile recently and saw they had posted in here. So, naturally assuming it wasn't ELEVEN MONTHS DEAD I took the time to post. Maybe we can get some fresh posts in here?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

A sheet over her door?

Anyhow, you're a good person Winter and you deserve a better relationship than this with your mother. NO ONE probably knows her better than you, and with that I really really think you should try and figure out how to avoid doing the things she doesn't like and how to improve your communications. She seems every bit as irrational as mine but she's still your mother and she still loves you and probably would love to start a better relationship with you. Just try something out, you don't want to have to regret this in the future.

Dads suck ass.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
