Your Parents
Tough one. Sad i know.
My parents got seperated when i was 3 and divorced when i 5. So i don't remember a single thing about them being parent and us being family. I remember them being my mother and my father. And me being with either one of them. I used to live with both of them. First with my mother then my father (and stepmother) and then my mother again.
Like i said in my Day 3 post, my father was probably my first love, thats why i wanted to live with him and not my mother when i was 7. Though then he messed it up, when my stepmother had some kind of a problem with alcohol (she was not an alcohlic though) and my dad was never at home and wouldn't care about it. When i was nine he send me back to live with my mother. Looking back at that today, that really was the best thing that he ever did and probably the smartest choice he ever made. But back then i couldn't see that. The only thing that i saw was, that my dad didn't want me anymore and shove me of to my mother. Ever since then, my dad and i had a terrible relationship. We see each other maybe once a year and hardly ever talk on the phone. Its sad, but then there are so many things unspoken, that will remain that way, since my dad has dementia now and doesn't know what i am talking about anyways.
With my mother i am just now building up a better relationship, which i am really thankful for. She fell in depressions something over a year ago and we had a tough couple of month. But thankfully she realized herself that she had depressions and seeked help with a professional. And today she is doing much better again.
