Where you closer to you mother or father while growing up?

You know what.. I think there will always be tense moments between family for one reason or the other because of differences but the love between family members are more powerful than we all realise. I know of parents who have abused their kids and other who just don't want to be parents. No child should ever have to deal with this but many do and through God's love and guidance they live through it and function too. At some point in time we clash with our parents especially when we are teenagers and finding our own identity but I think we know deep down inside when we have parents who love us and are just seeking our best interest and as time goes by we learn to deal with each other. Thank God for parents who are there for us and as you have said thank God for the family bond that you will have forever! Have a great day!

yes trinee i agree...but what is really important is for children like us to keep our love and respect to our parents no matter what knid of relationship we have with them... they are our parents and nothing in this world can change that! and i believe that God is preparing so much blessings for those children who obeys, love and respect their parents!

Thank you for responding and yes I believe there are those attachments too. I guess it is a matter of who connects to whom. Each situation is different. Happy mylotting to you too and take care.

I dont see me making up with my biological father, he was a rotten father and husband. He was past abusive and I would never want our children to have anything to do with him. He was not a kind person at all. I dont see how anyone can shoot at their own family and make them run into the woods to get away. We also used to have to sleep in car in the middle of winter on back dirt roads so he didnt find us. Like I said he was a horrible person. Which makes me appreciate the good people in my life all the more! =)

Wow...I definitely understand that and thank God all of you were able to get away from him. it really does make you appreciate the good people in your life and cherish them. Thank God you guys are okay. take care of yourself and thanks for sharing.

You and Mom really stay close, sounds like you guys are like best friends which is really nice. Sorry things were the way they were with your Dad but I am happy that your step Dad was there for you. Sometimes we want to be so close to our biological parents but they make it impossible. Even though you have nothing to do with your biological father do you think you can ever forgive him one day? It's okay if you choose not to say. Thank you and take care.

We cannot explain some of the best things in life but we know that they exist! I know that for sure...

One thing I have learned is that we don't always handle situations in the best way and we don't all handle situations the same way. As kids we will gravitate to the one who causes less stress LOL. I'm sure both parents love you though even though they handle things differently Have a great day too!

As kids we always want to be close to the parent from whom we can get what we want :) Does not mean that we don't love the other one but it's nice to be spoilt!

Your Dad was there for you during some trying times and you will always have a special bond because of that. You have kept close to your Mom as well and I am sure both parents are happy to have you.

I hope you and your Dad find a way to spend some more time together, seems like you really miss him. Keep them both close. Parents are precious.

At least you have your Mom holding you close when Dad is away. Always let them know that you love them both! Take care..

Even though you were not close to your parents while growing up, you are trying to be close to them now. Sometimes it is not easy when there is a lot to work through; past issues that need to be dealt with but where there is a will there will always be a way. My best to you in life and thank your grandparents for the love the gave you.
