GTKY: Mom

What is your relationship with your mom like? Has it always been that way?

We're best friends. We talk every morning for a couple minutes. We haven't always been this close, but after my dad died, we had to lean on each other. Our relationship got stronger, and now we're very close!

We're pretty close. Things have been a bit more strained since I got married, since she doesn't like that H works in retail (because she does and hates her job). She also complains to me about my Dad a lot. They're still married, although I often think they shouldn't be, and it puts me in a difficult place since you know, he's my Dad.

I'm a lot closer with my mom now than I was growing up. I love spending time with her and she comes to me when she needs someone to talk to. We've dealt with a lot in my family in the last couple of months and we've really been there for each other. With Granny passing away, cleaning her house, selling the house, my uncle passing away so unexpectedly, my sister getting a divorce, and my dads shoulder surgery we've been dealing with a lot of stress but we have each other to talk to about all of it and it helps!

We have always been close since my parents divorced when I was young. Fora while my mom was a single parent and I think that made us so close. Now though I do find myself pulling away from her some since we do spend every day at work together. I want to feel like my life doesn't always revolve around her. I will always love my mom but I am my own person too with my own family.

I am very close with my mom. We sometimes walk a very thin line because I am also close with my dad and his new wife and that drives her crazy. I can always tell my mom everything.

I am an only child and was very sick growing up so my mom is my everything, however she is also the one lady that could drive me to the loony bin. I visit her in small doses, but seriously I could not live without her. I still need my mommy

We're decently close, but I'm definitely not one to claim that she's my best friend. She drives me nuts sometimes. She is very set in her ways of doing things, and if you do them differently it's wrong. It causes a lot of strain between us. Since my dad died I worry about her a lot... We talk a couple times a week. See her probably about once a month.
