Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
I don't. I don't really have a good relationship with anyone in my family, except maybe my grandma but even then it's rocky. But my relationship with my parents isn't good at all. It kind of makes me sad but there's nothing I can do about it so I just have to deal with it.

Mostly, yes. However, my dad and I recently had a downfall in July because he screwed up. I am going to see him again tonight after 2 months... this is going to be awkward.

I have a decent relationship with them but my dad recently had a horrible incident that led him to opening up so much to my family and trying to connect. That I am not ready for which has strained our relationship.

um, sometimes? I definitely have no place to complain compared to many people on the forums, but I feel like "good relationship" is a stretch...like, things are fine, but we don't exactly get along...?

With my mom, definitely. I help her walk the dogs in the evening and we talk a lot. It's great.
Not so much with my dad, though. Not that he's done anything to hurt me; I'm just nothing like him and we have almost nothing to talk about in the few times a year I see him.

i have a good relationship with my mom Exocet over violin bc she's a stereotypical violin mom and like throws stuff at me when i can't play stuff and doesn't appreciate the work im doing in school which kinda irks me but she's also a really good person like super honest with me an sometimes to honest and tells stuff i probably shouldn't know about her past and stuff
i live in a separate state for my dad so I only see him like once every two months but we have a good relationship i guess but it's hard to forgive him for stiff he did in the past i guess

To an extent. I love my mother, and really enjoy spending time with her. It's my father I'm quite cold towards.

I love my mother and like spending time with her, but I don't trust her at all. My father is hardly ever seen and while I do like being around him I'm glad he isn't here all the time.

Yes, generally. I mean, we argue occasionally but generally it's a good relationship.

I'm sorry about your parents situation thing.
I'd like to say i have a good relationship with my mom. She's pretty chill and only asks me to do things that should be expected of anyone my age. Or at least tries to give me a push so that maybe I can take the step myself. She's also very understanding too and listens to reason. Say if she were being unreasonable, i can still have a conversation with her as to why she's being unreasonable without fear of her blowing up in my face. You know the 'no talking back' thing parents usually have? So long as I 'Talk back' in a respectful manner with compelling arguments, I can argue with her all day. She's just good. Our relationship as Mother/Daughter is good. She listens to me and I listen to her. I can tell her about a lot of things and she'll try to help me, or at least offer comfort. Plus she's super funny without meaning to be. I love my mom.

No They literally have a cabinet where all the good foods are and put a lock and chain around it and told all my other siblings the combination except for me. The only thing I am able to eat are crackers, and this has been going on for 5 years. I am very underweight now, and I try to sneak things whenever I can but what can ya do against parents who show obvious favoritism I'll never forgive them. Never. For an example of me being underweight, I was unable to grow properly at 12 years old because guess what? I never had anything to eat. I weighed 50 pounds. I was told I could die by my doctor, and my parents did nothing about it but keep up this same thing. I was forced to start sneaking food much more often for my survival. I'm almost 16 now and it's not much better.

Yes, very much so. My father does scream a lot, but rarely at me. Usually at the TV when football is on or at my brother.

Nope. My dad was a drug addict from when I was 7, and I'm 23 now. He essentially tore my family apart. I had a very...complicated relationship with him. I still loved him, because he was my father though. He died this past February...so there's that I guess.
My mother and I used to get along for the most part, up until I started high school. Then things just changed dramatically. She became very emotionally abusive towards me, and she still is. I can barely talk to her these days without her lashing out at me.
So yep. One parent is dead, the other abusive. Fun stuff.

mm, it's alright with my mom. i can confide in her, ask her for advice, etc. she's very giving and passionate. but you know, sometimes she's really narrow-minded and we butt heads on things, but that's normal. i still love her to death.
my dad and i aren't on very good terms tho. he and i are always at each other's throats -- most of the time he instigates fights with me, but i'm not a saint either. he's only ever nice to me when he needs something from me, and his way of apologizing is by giving me money to forget about the argument or whatever he did to hurt me (tho i ain't complainin like i could use the $$). he's very emotionally and verbally abusive, especially when you do something he doesn't like, and he's extremely manipulative. pretty misogynistic too. and a bit racist. idk. he's kind of awful.

Not really. I used to be p close w my dad but then in middle school i witnessed him do something awful to my brother, which involved a sharpened pencil, and i had to interfere even though i was the youngest of all involved and that ruined our entire relationship and even now, years later, i cant bring myself to look him in the eye
i mean i guess my mom and i are okay, i talk to her regularly and enjoy hanging out with her but she's also done some pretty terrifying stuff to me that i dont wanna get into detail about but pro tip, if your mom is anti-vax, don't tell her about the vaccinations you decided to get behind her back. i wanted to be honest but lololol that backfired quickly

yeah, my whole family is pretty close. we argue quite a bit, but not past what's normal. they're pretty religious, though, at least by european standards, so we'll see how that changes when i come out to them. nah, i don't think they'll react too badly (and i wouldn't be surprised if they already know, they keep hinting that they're okay with it without actually saying anything. or maybe that's just wishful thinking) but i do wonder every now and then how it'll affect our relationship.
