    Mom. She was the only one.

    Only and only my late Dad. He was the healthy one.

    Both, they will both give you different perspectives of life and love. They will both love you in different ways, at the end they are different people. Would you like your parents choosing who’s their favorite child, assuming you have siblings?

    My mom. She drives me absolutely crazy but she has my best interest at heart. She’s also unconditionally supportive of everything I do

    I love both my parents but my mom was the one that raised me 90% of the time and I always felt more comfortable going to her. My dad is very awkward and struggles to show emotions. I’ve never doubted his love for me but mom has always been more nurturing and I see her much more often. whenever I try to have a serious or emotional talk with my dad he just goes quiet and doesn’t know what to say. I think I got my autism from him 😂

    My mama. We have more in common and talk more. My dad is the more fun parent though.

    I can find extensive faults in both of them LOL

    I love them both for different reasons. I was/am a Daddy’s Girl. But my life would change if I lost my Mom. She raised us while my Dad worked and is part of my everyday life. She’s the one I share memes with and talk to every day. She gives me advice on everything, where I go to my Dad for his specialties.

    I am very, very lucky to have my Parents. They both experienced abuse growing up, though in very different ways. They decided to stop the cycle and were 1000% successful. Everything I have achieved is because they love and believe in me and my Sister. I wish everyone could have grown up with Parents like mine.

    My mom. She was much less abusive, eventually became able to get it through her head that I was an individual person and not an extension of her and she actually was at least somewhat sorry for things she did wrong and attempted to make up for them.

    I don’t have one. Both are very flawed and have each fucked me up in their own unique way

    My dad, he has been my rock throughout my childhood and helped heal a lot of childhood trauma my egg donor caused.

    My Mom. We share much more in common than me and my Dad and as I grew up she surprised me by being more open to discussions and awkward talks. (She was a cradle Catholic lady). But we really grew to have a good relationship into adulthood. She was my rock. Even when she didn’t completely understand things (like my struggles with anxiety attacks) she tried her best to make sure I knew she would be there if I fell or needed help.

    I even got the plot next to hers when she passed away.

    My mom. She’s my rock, has always been there for me. The only contact I have with my dad is when I wish him happy birthday. (He doesn’t return the greeting on my birthday.)

    Probably my mom. I’m just closest to her. To be clear, I’m also very close with my dad, so it’s a tight race.

    Neither parent sadly I wish I had parents at this moment

    My therapist. I liked my parents okay, but neither of them were very good at teaching me to be a healthy, functional adult

    Definitely my mom. I’ve always felt close to her. Even now at 32

    The “Dad, how do I?” guy. He’s caring and accepting and he’s all of us’ dad, by choice.
