Have you ever missed someone who were still physically present?

I miss my Mom and my dad. Not because they're gone but because they're no longer who I grew up to know. They are having problems with their marriage now and I miss the times that they were still sweet to each other and loving each other. I miss those people I use to look up to and respect. I still respect them now but it's because they're my parents. But as a person, they are so different now.
As we grow up we become more aware of what really life is. Our eyes opened to reality that fairy tales are just in a story book. If only I could turn back time and be with the parents that I knew in my childhood.
I wish I could help them mend their hearts but they are grown ups, they make their own decisions. I think I did all that I could do but it's still their choice if they no longer love each other.

Me too. I miss my mother and my father too. Since their relationship became not good, there were changes that have happened. It's that maybe we are experiencing the unusual than the usual we do together with them. Sometimes, as a son or daughter of a parent, no matter what we do, sometimes, it is not enough to change their decision because they have their own mind. I know it's not easy to have this experience but I am hoping that it would become better than what is experiencing now.

That's true! No matter what me and my siblings tell them, I don't think they ever listened! :( It's still their own choice. We can't even influence them, that how stubborn my parents are.
I hope too that everything will become better. Thanks so much! :)

Problems between our parents are things that sometimes we can not do anything about. But you just have to think that no matter how much differences they have, their love for you will still remain.

Yes..my son has changed so much I miss the old person he used to be. Since he has went through so much in his marriage it has changed him into someone I really don't understand anymore. There are glimpses of the old him returning...but it will take a long time. He is defensive...unsure of himself.....and he never used to be that way....and happy go lucky too. That has been lost in the last few years.....I hope he returns to me the way he used to be!
