Re: What kind of parents did you have?

[syncing_feeling]

Hoo boy.

I remember my mother being mostly lovely when I was young, though she had some weird habits and quirks. She was an artist and I probably wouldn't have ever picked up art if it hadn't been for her, so I have to thank her for that. In hindsight, she was incredibly controlling and always tried to isolate the family/limit our contact with people. She homeschooled us which I enjoyed at the time, but she also wouldn't allow my brother or me out of the house alone, even as teenagers. My sister (her favourite) was allowed to go out/make friends.

She eventually took my sister (and all my dad's money) and ran away to Malta. We never heard from her again. We found out after that she'd been planning it for years and had made up false identities online for random men.

Without sounding cliche, my dad is the loveliest dad I could ever ask for. Just super kind, always gets on with people and thinks the best of them, with a wicked sense of humour. Put me and my brother through college after mother left, which never would have happened if she'd stayed. I have so much respect for how he dealt with everything (he admitted later he was suicidal for a good while after she left), I can't imagine what he must have gone through and he's still come out so generous, loving and just a blast to be around. I don't know where me or my brother would be now without him.

Sorry for that massive novel but it's a loaded question for me, lol.

Wooow. Every time I think of the weird or fucked up parts of my relationship with my parents, I think I’m gonna remember your mom. Holy shit, I’m sorry, and I’m glad your dad is so awesome.

Haha, thanks. The whole thing sounds so farfetched and surreal, when I met my best friend in college he thought I was making it up. We unearthed so much weird stuff about her after she left and it just kept getting weirder. My friend started using the term "drama onion" because it was like layer after layer of "what the fuck?"
