I haven't seen this posted but I'm interested in seeing the results. Who were you closer to growing up? I wanted to do growing up vs. now because I know many of us have much different relationships with our parents. It would have been cool to make this a two-part poll and see if that changed after 21 (or really, after coming out). Meghan

Both of them were and still are.

Unquestionably, Mom. 

And this state still continues today.

[Judge Yourself]

That's a hard one to answer. It was invariably my dad until well puberty cause then I got dragged into 'female conversations' and my dad felt a little alienated/uncomfortable but when i got to 18/19 - present it was pretty much all my dad.

I was closer to my mum because due to his line of work, dad was always travelling abroad.

My mood is much closer to my mum, she can listen and understand me better than anyone, I think a lot of the things I feel she has felt and stayed quiet about  so not to rock any boats.

My dad and I don't understand each other at all, and there are times we barely respect each other, but most people think we are the close ones because we have very similar ways of presenting ourselves.

I feel I have total love for my parents but they regard me as such a feckless and impractical individual that they don't respect me in the slightest. If this carries on I will lose them, for I can't have self respect while I am still waiting for theirs.
