I'm 46, and I have always had a great relationship with my mom. When I was 18, though, I resented her for a couple of years for leaving. Now I know it was for the best. She can get on my nerves at times, but she's mostly the first one I turn to when I need help or support. She's always there for me.
My dad was never the loving fatherly type. I have a relationship with him, yes, but not a really close one. He's just not the type of person you can easily get close to. He's overbearing and he puts people down all the time. I rarely did anything right, and still don't at my age when it comes to him. It took a very long time for me to gain self-confidence after being raised under his roof. Now you see why my mom left?

I do now that I don't live with them. When I lived at home, my mama and I are exactly alike, so we didn't get along at all. I loved her then but we just argued about everything. I was a daddy's girl and hung around him mostly. Now that I don't live with them, I call my mom all the time just to talk, we go out to eat together, i know she'll always be there for me. I still have a great relationship with my dad as well. I'm glad my mom and I started getting along b/c i'm 22 and just got married and I really needed her in my life through all of that and i'll definitely need her when i start having kids!

Yes. And right now I wish I didn't. I live rather far from them, my birthday is soon and I miss them very much. People who have horrible family relationships seem to be carrying around a lot of baggage while simultaneously being very free.

For the most part yes. My mom and I still get miffed at each other sometimes. Mostly though, we get along great! They were always good parents, treated me fairly and with respect...yeah, they're cool.

MY MOTHER, MY MOTHER AND FATHER IN LAW ARE MY BEST FRIENDS. I WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT THEM. I FEEL BLESSED, TO HAVE THEM IN MY LIFE. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WE HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP.

If I didn't I wouldn't still be living with them.
