Describe your relationship with your parents:
Wow, how many ways this could go... Why don't I just describe how it is now. I am still and I will probably always be a daddy's girl. I am the first-born, and he has a hard time saying no to me. I love him more than anything and have a very difficult time imagining my life without him. With my mom, things are more complicated. I love her, but we a very different people. With almost every aspect in my life, she has an opposing view. I have felt for a while that nothing I do is good enough for her, nothing I can accomplish will be enough to win her approval. Lately I have been thinking that pleasing her is not the most important thing. I need to do things in my life to make me happy, not her. However, I need to work on not judging her for being so judgmental with me. She has her ideas about how my life could go and whether they are akin to mine or not, she is still my mother and her opinion should still have some weight to it.
I think it must be like this for everyone, having one relationship that is easier to maintain and navigate than the other. I don't know.
