I've been thinking that sometimes we mimic what we see. For those of you that remember, How did your parents get along? Were they Lovey Dovey, Hugs, a kiss when one of them came home? My Dad died when I was 10, but for the life of me I don't remember ever seeing my parents show any Affection towards eachother, EVER. Now I know at some point they must have had Sex, because I'm here  But an Honest to Gosh Moment of Affection

To the outside world, things were fine but otherwise not that good. Enough said I think.

My parents are still together... 46 years this year, I think.
Now that we're all out of the house, and my dad is retired, they do a lot more together- like traveling.
They've had their ups and downs- and still do. But at the end of the day they love each other in their way- there is real affection there.

Both my mom and dad are passed away.In the sence of the way,I hate to talk about it because Mothers Day is a couple days away.My parents had their moments of peace,but they had their share of fighting.But what use to get me the most is,you come home from a bad day at work or school and you walk into a fight the second you arrive home.But thats family business for ya!

LOL. complicated is putting it mildly...
My father has been happily married to my step mother for 30 years this April...
Yeah, that math is correct.
I have spent a lifetime learning from both of their mistakes and not repeating them. Unfortuneatly, I didn't make less mistakes than them...just different ones.

My father was a truck driver and my mom worked in a factory. But I love my parents. My dad on his spare time was a pilot which got me into flying. He passed away from cancer in 1992. My mom is still alive and I love her with all I have. She too is everything to me. I try to take care of her but she's too independent that you have to sneak helping her so she doesn't really know your doing it. She took care of me all my life, now its my turn. Love you Mom, happy mothers day. and too all the mothers here on DH. God bless you and happy mothers day too you also. My parents were very loving people. They loved each other even though my mom b*tched at my dad all the time but he loved her deaply. And she loved him. They were together for many years until the day my father passed away. They also did everything together with themselves and family both.

My parents have been married for 41 years and still going strong. They are my heros , they had few arguments and always gave us kids what we needed and what they could of what we wanted. Me being thier son a single parent I think boggles them, they just dont know how to advise me and I just tell them its no different then anything else I just aint married.

My parents are still together and just celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary. They most certainly have had their ups/downs through the years and I remember the good and the bad. But they are a different generation and truely married for better or worse. I admire them for their love and commitment to each other. Walking away was never an option. I am still so amazed at how they met. My Mother was introduced to my Father, by a friend, through the mail (not in person). He was in the Army and they wrote letters back and forth for one year before he arrived home from the service. She never dated anyone else that whole year. She was waiting for him at the base the day he returned, for the first time, and have been together since.
Can you imagine never really meeting someone face-to-face for one year, writing letters and actually falling in love?

Wow.
My parents were total opposites from the casual observer.
My Dad was quiet and easy-going.
My Mom was affectionate and socially outgoing.
appearances are decieving.
My dad was the most devoted husband and father you have ever seen.
He just never bragged about himself.
My Mom was A Catholic school teacher and loved by all her friends and family.
They lived together for almost f5 years before my Dad passed away from esophogeal cancer.
At home,literally in my Mom's arms.
She dated a couple of men after he passed,but she always laughed at them when they asked her to marry them.
She always said she had the best,why should she settle for second?
They fought,they loved,they did their best to raise a perfect child and a problem child
Guess which one I am?
I miss them both with all my soul

You know I do believe your parents relationship has a BIG impact on you.
I was really thinking about this issue a few weeks ago in regards to why I made
the choices I did.
Here's what I discovered to know to be true....
My mom came from a very wonderful and loving couple herself. My mom is one
amazing woman. My dad knew that BUT he let HIS mother rule. Now my dad's mother
was one evil, nasty, vindictive woman. Honestly the world lost nothing when she died.
My mom and dad divorced when I was 4 yrs old. I can't tell you the horror
that went on thanks to the evil of my dad's mother. She destroyed people around her.
My mom went on to remarry. Her and the new husband have been together for over 30 yrs
now.
My dad on the other hand...wasn't able to hold a solid relationship and
his life was wasted, in the end he killed himself.
What effect did this have on me....I spent 15 yrs with a man trying to keep my
family together to prove I could have a healthy relationship and break the "curse".
Because of that desire I wound up with a man just as unhealthy as my dad who was
also acting out his need to prove that had HIS parents NOT stayed together his
life would have been better.
So I unwittingly played a part in the nasty cycle of generational curses.
Now I fear my kids growing up to make the very same mistakes.
My heart breaks that I didn't have a mate in my life who wanted to help me
send a loving message to the kids and set a great example for them.
I won't try to control their lives or their relationships but when they start
dating I will be sure to teach them.....
A selfish person breeds a selfish person.
An angry person breeds an angry person.
A person who lives in fear breeds a person who is abusive.
Please be very very careful what kind of person you fall in love with.
What a son sees his father do he will imitate.
What a daughter sees her mother do she will imitate.
Please if you are a parent be the best person you can be.
So your success will be your child becomes even better than
you were. That is the ultimate success in life.

I had the best most loving, caring Mother who ever lived. My Dad was an abusive, alcoholic bum. He died of cancer 9 days after thier 50th wedding anniversary. She stood by him, and took care of him.
Unfortunately I married a man like Dad. I divorced him after 37 years, and I've been happy ever since.

My parents both died within 18 months of one another when I was starting my married life the first time (does that tell you anyting?). I have been both blessed and cursed with a special friend that shows me what a true marriage is. She and her husband have a wonderful, caring, loving marriage. Trying to find that in my personal life is a hard thing to do. I just keep looking...
