It all depends on how you grow up. My parents were drunkards and high all the time until I was about 10 so it already started off bad. Then they got divorced and cleaned up, but my dad and stepmom treated me and my brother like we were criminals when growing up, being over protective and not trusting us, etc.

In college I talked to my parents around once every 3 months and I certainly had no desire to see/talk to them any more than that.

Now that I've graduated, I talk to my dad probably once a week at most, my mom once a month at most. Grandparents are the same...talk to them once a month, see them sometimes once every 3 months, and they don't live far away.

Buut my brother. Now that's a different story. Being a twin that no longer lives in the same area can really screw with you. I would say on average we talk to each other 5-8 times per day, whether it be through email or phone or text. Sometimes it's more than that, usually 3 times a day bare minimum. My 2 sisters I talk to probably once every 2 weeks to once a month.
