damn i LOVE my parents heart

hug for mom and dad


WOW I could use the same list. My parents had the courage to allow us to develop fully into individuals not cookie cutters..... We could not all be more different. I benefit deeply from these differences... I am entirely open to people of all paths because of my background. I also know true love and freedom.

No matter what path I choose ..

No matter where life takes me ...

I have 4 people behind me pushing me towards the goal I SET.

I know that I am loved no matter win or loose.

yay for my mom, who gave birth to me and instilled my love for drawing.

yay for my dad, who was man enough to continue to raise me on his own after my mom passed away and for teaching my hard-headed ass to make my own way...oddly enough, i just got mail from my dad today. he took pictures of his new house and included a picture of himself, which is nice since i haven't seen 'im physically for 5 years now (neither one of us can afford to travel to see one another). his 54th birthday (as far as he's concerned, he's still 30 giggle) is next month, and he hasn't aged a bit. biggrin

From my mom I learned: optimism, spirituality, laughter, warmth, forgiveness, enthusiasm, ability to remain calm, unconditional support, respect, acceptance of mistakes in myself and in others, ability to see all the beauty in life, and cooking skills..lol

From my dad I learned: logic, analysis, business sense, generosity, ability to overcome any obstacle, importance of family, taking chances, following your heart, responsibility, honor, pride, and my voice...lol


I love them both beyond words. heart

So what did you like about the way your parents raised you?


While there are definitely things that everyone didn't like about it, there have to be some, or many, good things, as well.


Here are mine:

They gave me lots of exposure to the arts. Museums, theater, concerts, you name it. They also encouraged all of my own creative endeavors.


Humor. Both of my parents have a nice sarcastic, witty, and offbeat sense of humor that they passed down to me.

Independence. While there are things that I don't like doing on my own, I definitely know how to get my ass in gear and get things done on my own. I'm also good at making choices because of this.

Confidence. This is not to say that I am not sometimes uncomfortable in my own skin. Everyone is from time to time. But my parents really let me be me and let me define myself by my own terms and not by the rules of others

Love love love love love. I've never doubted my parents' love for me. Also, through them I've learned a great deal of what goes into a loving, function relationship and what does not.


Ok .org, your turn!

You are,indeed, a very lucky person!
Not only are you blessed with wonderful parents....they, in turn, are blessed to have you!
hug

oh MAN!! I came home drunk last night and I went at it with my mom and stepdad for 2 and a half hours. I told them about EVERYTHING i've been thinking about them since I was younger and they were trying to act like they didn't want to hear it but eventually they shut up. Then they were trying to say I was being disrespected by speaking my mind rolleyes I was already pissed because I saw my ex and he was calling me nigger and I told him "How would you like it if I called you crackhead all the fucking time you ignorant asshole?" and he turned red and started crying and my co-worker put me out her house because she didn't want drama I didn't start. Oy. So they told me they want me out in a few weeks. I can't fucking WAIT. They're the MAIN reason I'm moving out of the city. I was telling them how I feel they treat me like a child and my mom was like "You are a child" and I said "I'm your child yes, but I'm not a kid." And she said "You ARE a kid." And I said "I'm 23 years old. I'm an adult. And it's time you realized that and started treating me like one." and she said "You are a kid because you're my child. I'm a kid too." Making no kind of fucking sense at all. And I told her about how she called me "Satan" 2wice this year and she turned her head and didn't want to hear it. Man...I brought up ALL this old shit and they were sitting there acting like they didn't want to hear it but they HEARD that shit God dammit. It was fucking time. I needed to come clean before I moved anyway. Then she said "I love you" and I hardly believed her because it sounded like she had to force herself to say it. I almost cried though because I was SO angry and I didn't want to say that shit, but it needed to be said. I don't know. Maybe it'll turn out to be a good or bad thing. Just have to wait and see. Sorry, didn't mean to post all this. I was gonna make a thread about it anyway but I try not to come on here when I'm drunk.

I don't care anymore. I'm done. It's up to them now. Sometimes I wish she would just fucking disown me.

we all go through that rough shit sometimes. i think a huge part of growing up is coming to terms with how your parents raised you and all of the shit that they did, the good and the bad.

hopefully in time you will be able to have a better relationship with them. I know I've been through my rough patches with my parents and step parents but they always clear up. Family is forever! biggrin / confused

hug rose

I hope things get better.
