Do you like your parents?

[get these nets]

Ehhhhh...

I tolerate my mother. I don't hate her but she is very vexing. My dad, fukk no. To put it simply, he's an emotional bytch and he's gone too far on multiple occasions (tried to shoot me, actually sabotaged one of my businesses to the point I'm still fixing up issues he created). The last one funnily enough was the last straw for a few reasons.

Meaning no disrespect. Pops bust shots at you, but the bad business deal was the last straw?

WOW!!

Yeah. My mom more or less caped for him and said it was him being emotional and did a lot of pleading and all that. I don't think he ever apologized either. The business deal angered me because he essentially betrayed me, which I take seriously, and he willfully did it for reasons that made no sense but are keeping with his overall shytty personality (he did not even apologize for it too). What bothered me about that was that it proved to me that he never did and would never change for the better so I had to cut ties with him.

I hate the fact that they broke away
but appreciate the 9 months and the birthday
Never seen my father maybe once or twice
Each time the situation wasn't nice
My mother gave me life
but gave me mental illness, growing pains
Scars and memories, but joy shall reign
I despise my stepfather
for teaching me what not to be of a husband
a father and a human being
I hate the painful moments but loved the glory days
Christmas to New Years
Special occasions but that ended up nowhere
family broken and going different directions
Meanwhile I still feel like I wasn't born to them
Having identity crisis
Wolves raising a sheep
led to slaughter
Even with a great departure
I am still scarred and bothered
That I never had a true family
Until the day I said I do
and seen my son's eyes

From then on it made me realize
that this is what its all about
I love my family
hate my father
Despise my stepfather
Loathe my mother
but love my mother
loved her mother
and appreciate the times
that we had with one another...

I love and hate my parents.

Appreciate your parents while they are alive. Not until I became an adult did I understand my Father's intent. Didn't like his approach and ways, but fully understood his intent.

I got love for them, but I can't say that I like them. They divorced, Mom refused to follow pop to the next city in his military orders when I was about 8. Mom (Manipulative Conservative City Girl) painted pop the villain (Attention Seeking Country Boy) for years, and he was, but as I age I see how hard she is to get along with and how manipulative she is, especially as she ages poorly. Relationship with pop is nonexistent, but my only beef with him now is his lack of effort to be active, we needed logic in the house and a male mentor coming up. These are the parents I was given though, and I didn't turn out too bad but I could've thrived if they were a bit more mature.

I'm seeing a lot of love, but not "like"

I wonder what this thread would be like in the reverse
Do you think your parents like you? Do you like your kids?

I can answer that. They do not. They wish I was never born tbh. They've said as much when I was younger before they gave me up.

Edit: And before anyone asks - yes, both of my parents are/were black.

I firmly believe a individuals parents is the single greatest determing factor in how someone turns out.

So no. I do well in spite of them, not because of them

Love my mom to death, would do anything for her. My pops on the other hand I sort of resent for half-assing when I was in school and wasn’t around often, made little me question if he even cared about me for real

I still love him in a way tho, we’ve built a bit of a connection since I was in high school

 

[BandOfGypsys]

Me and my Sis were just talking about this, my Mom really isn't a good person, no we both don't like her. I've felt that way for a while but could never talk about it cause it hurt so bad since I love her so much, which just leaves me conflicted inside. I've learned to just accept it, move on and just love her through it and just deal with it. But I always have a feeling of why can't you just do right so we all can just love you and be happy. If you can I would recommend just doing that, cause at the end of the day that's still your Mom/Dad.

Eh. If it's easier to be stress free and happier without them, do it. Life is too short to struggle with shytty people in the hopes that they come around eventually.

“I can’t take back that 16”. It’s really hard bruh, I always pray my relationships heal better, hope yours does too.

Love my mom. Great woman. Have a great relationship with her, and its great, cause I get my introversion from her, so we don't have to talk long. I love my dad, but we never really built that connection (he pretty much was visiting less and less after age 3, to completely not coming down and I had to go visit him) so its more of a me being cool with him. I don't have any grudges against him, his and my mom's business is their business, but as I said I'm an introvert, and reaching out to people just to talk is a chore.
