My mom loved me unconditionally. She also encouraged my free spirit. You would have loved her Pretty Eye.

Both.
I do agree that a person is affected by their parents conduct, be it positive or negative.
It is no easy task to deal with negative childhood experiences. When we are young, our parents are “the mirror” and we have little control over what we see.
As adults, we can choose what we see every time we look in the “mirror” and though it may take years, childhood perceptions can be changed.
However, the only person that can effect those changes is the adult him/herself.
It may be a long road but there is no reason why any person should allow negative experiences to affect him/her for the rest of their lives.

Unfortunately, negative, sorry....my parents divorced & my mother got custody of me & my twin brother. My twin brother is mentally challenged, so my mom left me to raise myself because she concentrated on my brother. My father died when we were very young & my older brothers & sisters had already left the house. There you have it in a nutshell. Could go into it more but all it would do is turn into a pity party & I don't want or need that :-)
But it turned me into a good person & the best mommy, in my kids opinion, in the world :-)
Edit: Not trying to be "nasty" about the pity party thing, I just got really put down the last time I opened up around here & I am still feeling a little burned. I apologize...... :-(

I had an equal amount of positivity and negativity for the most part. And the one thing I will never learn is... how to raise kids like they did us... my sisters and I turned out to be very good people, and it wasn't through getting spoiled, you got in trouble for what you did wrong (maybe even spanked!). Either way I wish I could figure out how they did it, cause thats how I want to raise a family.

my father was too hard on me and his leniency was almost non existent,this gave me a "scar" ,a neurotic anxiety over seeing authority figures,seeing strict people or discplinarians gives me an unexplainable fear of those people because they reminded me of the harsh way I was treated when i Was a child,imagine being thrown a boot if you feel asleep studying?this is obviuosly negative and also my father was so hard on me when I make a mistake that I was forced to lie at times to prevent from being scolded,which I also carry today,when I feel a great amount of anxiety when I make a mistake I would use an alibi to cover up or justufy my mistake.I really dont want to blame everything on my father but he made a lasting impression on me which is very negative and also because of him being hard on me my self-esteem has been partly shattered,i promised to myself that when I grow up I would be a way better father than my dad was,way better....

My dad was abusive and tortured my poor mom. That made me strong and I will never allow anyone to hurt me like that! I married the most wonderfull man-ever! IF I had not grown up in an abusive home, I would have said yes to my ex boyfriend and he was very aggressive. I dumped his @ss the first time he started that Sh*T.

Negative when I was three.
My Dad let my older brother watch me for twenty minutes and my brother was talking to his friend on the phone, so while he was talking, I was hanging upside down on the sofa, then I fell on my head and my brother was grounded for a week.

Well my father argued everyday with my mom...so that made me distances with people. And my mom was a negative person, she had nothing nice to say. My parents knew that they weren't there for my siblings and I and now they are making it up.

They gave me a sense of fairness, the ability to see all sides to the argument, the love of nature, the ability to manage my finances and the idea that I can do whatever I want to and the confidence to do it, never to "judge a book by it's cover", love of family and to think independently.
