Re: Just curious... do you think your parents were/are good parents?

[(Anonymous)]

As an adult, I've come to realise that my mom is probably the best, compared to the mothers of the kids I went to school with. She is wise and she is kind, she's not afraid to speak her mind and she very rarely judges situations wrongly. Very little advice that she's given me has turned out wrong. She's one of my best friends, and truly a good person.

My stepdad is nice, and unquestionably loves all the kids. His parenting has been good, though he's had his moments. Like how he insisted that my brother was "a great talent at the piano" when he was mangling classical pieces with his lack of fine motor skills and musical intuition. He always was kinda preoccupied with The Son, but I don't think he ever saw that himself. He'd certainly deny it if anyone were to accuse him of ignoring his daughters!

My dad is very, very nice, to the point where he is honestly kind of a doormat. He's always helping people - including me and my half-brother there, but his inability to say "no" also means that twenty years after they parted ways, he's still having to deal with my other brother's crazy mom. I also think his conflict avoidance was part of why it took him so long to truly confront the crazy mom about the way she was treating me (to his defense: this was in the nineties, when "emotional abuse" wasn't a thing). He broke it off with her becaues she made him choose between her and me, and given the exhausting story about visitations rights and custody battles that followed, it is probably the greatest sacrifice anyone has ever made for my sake.
