Does anyone out there have a good relationship with both of their parents?

Question

Is there anyone who has stopped talking to their parents because you just can't seem to get along?

Answer 1

I went through a phase where I didn't think I could get along with my parents, but I found out that it was so lonely without them. Prior to my father passing away, I was closest with him, but still very close with my mom. I think when I finally quit arguing with everything they said, and listening to them a little, we started having a better relationship. That's not to say that I agreed with everything they said, but I respected their view points when giving me advice. I would respond to their advice with either, "That's a good idea" or "I understand what you're saying, but this is what I want to do, and it is my decision in the end. I just wanted to see what you had to say, and I appreciate you talking to me about it." I also sat down and talked with my parents after our falling out about how important it was to me that we have a good relationship. Cliche as it may be, communication is really key...and a good hug never hurt anyone either.
