    A general question that interests me. You can explain if you want to.

    Well mine is alright but a lot of the time its bad...My dads rarely home so I don't have a actual relationship with him...I won't say that I hate them and we don't like each other.

    my mom is awesome, she lets me do a lot of mature things because she trusts me (I'm 15 in November BTW), but my dad can be cool SOMETIMES, a lot of the time hes stuck up and treats me like a Fuckin 5 year old. take earlier today for instance, Last night after i brushed me teeth i decided not to go to bed and stayed up drank some pop and ate more, woke up got on the computer before i brushed em when i woke up and he goes you have till 10 to go brush em and all day hes been acting like hes the most important person.

    I would say that I have a very good relationship with both of my parents.

    Although, what they don't know won't hurt them.

    My dad's a wanker. Seriously. I used to like him a lot but I've lost all my respect for him in the past year or so. As for my mom, I can't really complain.

    Yeah, I have a great relationship with my parents. They're not too restrictive but it's because they know they don't need to be - they can trust me.

    They're alright... a bit controlling at time, but getting better.

    Mum's actually a nice person, I'd wanna know her even if we weren't related, but Dad just simply isn't a friendly, fun kinda guy. He honestly has no friends, and doesn't want them either, just wants to be sarcastic at the whole world.

    My Mom's really sweet.
    My dad has been okay for the past year, all those years before he was a 1st class asshole.

    So, I like my Mom way better than my dad. :)

    How do I view my parents? Well...

    If I had to judge, I would say that my relationship with both of them is unlike most kids can admit to. I have my sour moments with them, but we don't fight that often, I never have truly hated either of them, and I feel comfortable sharing things I don't usually share with some of my friends which means a lot considering all I've told them over the years. When people turned their back on me, my mom and dad were my only friend at times, and when you need someone to talk to, and they are there to understand what you are going through..it's just simply incredible.

    I wish everyone had parents like mine, because the world would be a happier place. They've been so supportive over me with everything (from LPA, to my new relationship with Andrea), and I can't even begin to say how thankful I am for that.

    I love my parents. I hope even when I'm an asshole sometimes, they realize that.

    My mum is the greatest person in the world EVER. She's like.. my idol. She's really cool and awesome and she's being through so much. We get on so well and have supported each other through everything. We've been really close since I was younger.

    My dad, I don't talk to him anymore unless I really have to. He wasn't the nicest person you could say when I was growing up, really quite the opposite. I've never got on with him.

    I have a somewhat good relationship with my parents. We don't always agree.

    i only have a good relations to my Dad since he's the only one whos willing to listen to me and not so judgemental about my views since my family especially my mom's side and the sibs are hardline Catholics and me being the only agnostic almost always means my mom will hate what i have to say or just simply wont listen to me...so yeah..

    My mom's possesive, depressed 24/7, she gets irritated easily and takes it out on me and I always fire back, mostly end up hurting myself when I start raging and destroying shit in my room.

    My dad's neglective, agressive and lives in denial...I've confronted him with things like:

    He missed my 10th birthday, because he didn't want to see mom and that very night he grounded me for being mad at him for it.
    He beat the living shit out of me every time I did something 'wrong', and when I started crying, he'd beat me again and tell me to stop crying. And he'd tell me it's not true, or I should stop acting like such a dramaqueen.

    Everytime I defend myself, it backfires and I feel worse than before...bacause both of them will make me listen to what's wrong with me...but they won't listen to what really bothers me. Everytime I want to tell them things they've done wrong, they freak out and tell me to either shut the fuck up or get out their sight...

    yeah...I hate and love them both...but right now, I would much rather be without either of them.

    Edit: I don't want this to seem like I want attention, but...My mom's depression has reached into my life so much, I actually believe I'm the one who should be swallowing her antidepressums. Might sound stupid, but: Depression's a sickness and it IS contageous if there's no-one around, strong enough to keep your spirits lifted.

    Anti-depressants don't help much though. They'll just dull you down, they suck. Don't go there mate.

    I can't stand my step-mom or my step dad. Both are over protective, dream crushing, ruin a life ass holes. When I'm gone I'm done with the bull shit that's been holding me back.

    I know they don't help...I'm not that uninformed. I'm just saying I feel I'm the one that feels depressed now.
