I don't particularly talk. If I don't have anything to say, I don't say anything. I'm rather quiet. I get along, I just don't really converse with them often.
Holy crap... That's kind of what's happening to me at the moment... my friend's parents practically consider me family, while my actual family has grown distant. And like you I used to have a half-decent relationship with them: I used to be able to have a conversation that wasn't just them giving me orders or insulting me.norashepard said:I used to be really close with both my parents, and I'd take great pride in it because kids in high school would always be complaining about theirs. But then something happened, not sure what exactly, and suddenly I can even really consider my parents connected to me at all. Like I see them sometimes and my general feeling is about as equal as how I feel when I meet someone I knew in school. It's weird and probably depressing, but that's just what happens, I guess.
That said I have like seven other couples who claim me as their own child now simply because of the rapport I've built with them, so it's not as much of a problem as it could be. Plus I have like the best little sister ever so that is a definite bonus, and probably the only reason I even remember what parents are.
