<p>i realized today that i have no emotional feeling for my mom. is that right?</p>
<p>Do I respect them now? yes
Are we in the best of terms? no
Will I be grateful in 10 years? most likely</p>
<p>I would be sad if they were no longer in my life for whatever reason, but I don't have a huge emotional attachment to them. Then again, I don't an emotional attachment to anything.</p>
<p>yeah i dont have neither respect nor any affability towards my mom. none. she just seems like a person who just feeds and drives me to school, nothing else.</p>
<p>I will follow Bulgarian's posting style:</p>
<p>Do I love my parents? Extremely so.
Are they awesome? They are both super amazing.
Do they love me? Beyond belief.
Are we in good terms? My parents and I have always been best friends. (Same with my parents and sibling and between me and my sibling)</p>
<p>I love my parents, and they love me "beyond belief" (thanks Metdeth). But I'm not extremely close to them either.</p>
<p>metdeth and bulgarian have a good style: </p>
<p>Do I love my parents? Yes. Like? Not usually.
Are they awesome? Not really.
Do they love me? I think so.
Are we in good terms? Yes and no. We have a very rocky relationship. They've never really acted like my "parents". I was raised by my babysitter and we don't hug or tell each other "I love you". EVER. Other people think it's weird.</p>
<p>I love my mom very much.</p>
<p>I'll say this about my "dad"...there aren't enough of CC's censoring asterisks to say what I feel about him.</p>
<p>Do I love my parents? Very much so
Like them? Most of the time
Are they awesome? Usually
Do they love me? Yes
Are we in good terms? Mostly, yes.</p>
<p>Do I love my parents? Ehhh...not my dad, maybe my mom..I'm not a touchy person
Are they awesome? My mom acts like a best friend. She can be annoying at times asking me one question a million times...other than that, she's fine. We go to the movies, go shopping, anywhere really. My dad is a different story. I think he has bipolar disorder. He verbally abuses my mom so he's an idiot at times. He blames everything on her, spits on the floor when he's angry for attention, cries like a big baby when he doesn't get what he wants, throws down things on the shelf...I believe it has to do with his upbringing. His grandparents always sided with him and favored/spoiled him. On the other hand, he has days where he wants to socialize and just go out.
Do they love me? They do!
Are we in good terms? With my mom, yes. My dad, it's so-so. He's good but then he's bad.</p>
<p>Do I love my parents? Quite, extremely, love mommy and daddy very, very much ^<em>^
Like them? Yep, dad's funny, mom's unique. both are likable and lovable ^</em>^
Are they cool? both cool, but in different ways
Do they love me? Def.
Are we in good terms? mmhmm...</p>
<p>Of course I do. I mean, we may not be super close and we've had our disgreements and mistakes, but I love them unconditionally.</p>
<p>linsper23- Your description of your dad sounds a little like my dad actually. :P</p>
<p>Do I love my parents? So-so
Are they awesome? Not really.
Do they love me? I hope so
Are we in good terms? So-so</p>
<p>I'm a pretty emotionless guy.</p>
<p>"linsper23- Your description of your dad sounds a little like my dad actually. :P"</p>
<p>That's funny....maybe we are half sisters and have the same dad. Now that would be freaky. ;)</p>
<p>Do I love my parents? I guess..
Are they awesome? Not the word that comes to mind,lol.
Do they love me? I suppose.
Are we in good terms? Eh..my mom,sometimes..my dad,yeah!</p>
<p>Sure we love each other, but my mom has only said it to me twice and I've never said it to either parent.</p>
<p>Your parent sets up the very basic relationship with you when you are very young.<br>
The child has not much say in it.<br>
If you don't love your mom or are not sure she loves you, then your mom has failed you. If you feel empty about your mom, it's really your mom's fault. She had the power originally. You are just reacting to the lack of love after a certain age. </p>
<p>That's just how it is. sure, they were busy or whatever, probably not interested (ever listen to the song, The Cat in the Cradle?).</p>
<p>It all comes down to the habits your parent establishes with you. If they fell into the habit of dismissing your preferences, or criticizing you, then they will fall back on their usual patterns easily, even if it is not how they really feel, if they were to examine their feelings at that moment.</p>
<p>You could look your parent in the eye if you are disappointed and speak up about it, if you could be that articulate about the indifference you feel toward her.</p>
