When my dad would deploy and go to Iraq or Afghanistan I could always relate talking to my mom more about things, and we were close like best friends.
But as my dad came home and started getting out of the army I've started to relate to him more. We just had a talk about a lot of things and he's a smart dude. I know that there are things I'll never relate to him on, he's been changed ever since the war, but I can talk to him easily.
Both my parents are good though. I may go through periods where we barely talk or relate to each other, but at least they're there for me. -
And the thing is, whenever I doubt my beliefs and even belief in God, they help me lay things out. Yeah, they are really strong Christians, but they don't force their beliefs on others and they truly have evidence on why they believe things. I wish I could bring them here to explain some of the things they say, I can't really articulate in words but they make sense. There are still things I disagree with them about but I respect them, I know the true meaning of that word because of them.
Whenever I keep my true feelings and thoughts from them, it turns into a vicious circle and it hurts me. But when I talk to them things balance. It's like I think if I say something against what they say they'll hate me or yell at me but they don't. I've just realized this and I'm thankful.
I just wrote this after I posted the thread so I bet it's a late post xD -
Yup, late post lol
Thanks, I do feel lucky, I know so many friends who have bad family lives and it makes me sad. My parents have had horrible parents and they just did the opposite, I'm surprised and thankful. -
I fight with my parents too, in fact I've said that I hated them before. But if they really want what's best for their kid, even if it feels unfair then they're just trying to do what's best. But if they really are the kind of people who want power and control over everything their kid does then they're in the wrong.
Sorry I'm not really good with words so *huggles* I'm better with emotions :)
