What is the one thing you wish you had the guts to tell your mother or father?

Question

This could be a deep subject, but mine would be that I resent them for drinking my entire childhood. Now you guys open up and let it all out. Not gonna pass judgement.

Answer 1

Both of my parents are deceased, I was 17 when I lost my mom. I really regret that I never told my dad how I wished he would suffer the way he made my mom suffer the last 3 yrs. He was taking her morphine & replacing it w/ water. Just for his addiction. I would hear my mom, who had lung and liver cancer, beg for my dad please give her a shot of pain medicine, & he would tell her to shut up & that she wasn't in pain. So my mom, SUFFERED & died a horrible death. Needless to say, After 5yrs of her death, in a since, I believed, he willed himself to get Cancer 2, but I hate it that he died w/ in a yr. he was diagnosed w/ out the undescribable pain he put my mother thru. I wanted him 2 get it double back!!

Answer 4

I would tell my mother I'm tired of her snide, sarcastic, judgemental comments, and her the-world-revolves-around-me attitude. I'm tired of feeling like scum to the person who's supposed to think the most of me. I'm tired of everything having to go her way. I'm tired that she's the only one who has feelings, or ones that count, anyway. I'm tired of "I cried my eyes out when I found out I was pregnant... but we wanted you ANYWAY". I'm tired of "have you put on weight, or is it those clothes you have on?" and "when I worked I kept MY house clean" (she's never worked full-time). I'm tired of "didn't you IRON that before you put it on?" and "is THAT what you're wearing?!" and "aren't you about due for a HAIRCUT?" I'm tired of her self-righteous throne of martyrdom. I'm tired of her pretending she's blind when she's got an audience, but being able to see well enough to criticize. But she's 82 years old, she's not going to change, and there's no point attacking an old woman. She's already got everybody convinced I'm a self-centered and selfish daughter who never does anything for her. To tell her how I feel would just give her more ammunition.

Answer 5

I would ask my father why he never came around to see me. My parents split up when I was 2 years old and I haven't really seen him since. I mean I seen him as I got older but we never had a relationship. So my answer to your question is that........ WHY ???

Answer 6

I would like to have the guts to ask mom not to tell me every little thing my dad did this week that irritated her.

Answer 7

Well i have the guts to tell my mother to kiss my *** cause we just that dam cool but my balls ain't bigger enough for me to pull that so im saying that to say i can tell my parents anything.

Answer 8

I would ask my "dad" if he was still alive why was he able to be a father to another woman's kids but not to his own and why did he physically and emotional abuse my mother?

Answer 9

I would like to tell my father that I have finally realized the only thing that would have made him happy was a son..he made it very clear that daughters were inferior but I knocked myself out my whole life trying to please him...until recently...I finally truly don't care what he thinks or wants...I like me and he cant screw that up.....

Answer 10

I'd tell them I love them......I haven't told them those words since I was a teen. I am now 25 & have a hard time telling them
