Father : Growing up was very strict and overprotective when it came to me. As a result I grew up very sheltered. Also because of his parenting and keeping me on a short leash I'm now in my 20's(26 now) I'm having to make up for time and develop and learn many things young men in their teens knew about life and especially women. Lastly he's someone whose always very critical of me, nothing I seem to do is every good enough, and my whole life he's compared me to everyone from himself to my younger sister to close friends of mine. My relationship with him and the way I've felt treated is the the foundation to why I have many of my internal problems today from being depressed, insecure, having body issues growing up, having some level of social anxiety and being uncomfortable around new people. There's so much I could say( but I don't feel like typing anymore). In a nutshell despite being in my life physically and providing for me financially and helping me academically, emotionally he was never there for me. In a nutshell I have a lot of anger and bitterness towards him, but unfortunately I just have to deal with it and bite my tongue and deal with his BS until I'm at a place that I can move out, and once I do I'm never speaking to him again. The next time he will see me is at his funeral( if I go). What I'm saying may sound harsh, and perhaps I'll be singing a different tune when he leaves this earth, but my bitterness about my past and my relationship with him will probably outweigh any sadness that I have for him being gone.
Mom : Growing up I was very close to my mother. I was a momma's boy in many ways. I love my mother. Being that growing up I never really had any real romantic relationships or success with girls, my relationship with my mother and late grandmother filled that void. However because of tough times in 2014 & 2015 where my family and I were struggling and living in a hotel, finances screwed up, my relationship with her changed. We started arguing more, and I saw a side of her I'd never seen in 24 years. Many times young men can put their mother on a pedestal and think she can do no wrong and then when you start to see do things and act in ways that's not right it definitely upsets and disappoints you. Now in 2016 were still as a family trying to reestablish and return to our old lives before 2014, and even though I still love my mother, I don't think things will ever be the same. 2014 was literally the worse year of my life and whatever family we had I doubt will ever be the same. It is what it is.
