Since I skipped a few days, I'm going to make those posts up to you!
#3: Describe your relationship with your parents.
The relationship with my dad is simple. He and I have been close for as long as I can remember. I'm daddy's little girl and he's one of the first people I ever call when I need to vent, need advice, a shoulder to cry on, etc. He is loving, supportive, and a great father. He doesn't spoil or coddle me. He taught me from a young age that you get what you earn. He instilled a hard work ethic in me. I've also inherited his stubbornness, his people skills, his learn from your mistakes (but you have to make the mistakes yourself to learn) attitude, and his looks.
The relationship with my mother is a whole different story. It's fairly non-existent. After a series of events my senior year of high school and freshmen year of college, I chose to eliminate her from my life. At the time it was not healthy for me to continue the relationship we had. It was angry, filled with lies and deceit and betrayal. It was filled with arguments and yelling and cursing. There was nitpicking, blaming, and a fierce desire to prove the other wrong. It just was not healthy at all. As time has gone on, I've learned to forgive mistakes made in the past, learn from them, and while I still do not desire anything more than a cordial relationship on holidays, I am allowing her the opportunity to have a relationship with my son.
