answer:My parents gave me a lot. I didn’t realize it until I became a parent myself, but now I know that they gave me more than enough. Now, that’s an overall answer. Onto the details. Do you feel like your parents have been there for you? Not really. The last few years they have distanced themselves. If you have trouble making your way in the world, or suffer from low self-esteem or depression, do you think that your state of being is related to whether your parents gave you enough? N/A I guess. If you have problems with relationships, do you think this is related to whether your parents modeled a loving relationship? I suppose it could have something to do with it, but ultimately I’m an adult and I make my own decisions. I couldn’t blame them for anything. Do you think they think they gave you enough? I got to water ski, kayak, snow ski, mountain climb, build forts, go woodcutting, go caving, camping, swimming, etc… That’s what I remember most. They gave me that so I consider myself very lucky. If they think they fell short, how do they try to make up for it? It’s a thing of the past. I wouldn’t expect them to “owe” me anything. Do you think you fell short in your efforts to have a good relationship with your parents? I have fallen short lately. How much responsibility do you think children have for the success of the parent-child relationship? Well I think that as the child gets older, his/her responsibility toward that relationship should increase proportionately.
