I am closer to my parents now than I was before. A few things made us closer. My dad fighting lung cancer and winning (so far) and my separation. Before that, we were sorta close, but it was different. I would not tell them many things because I didn't want to hear all of their negativity. And would you believe Facebook helped me and my mom get closer? Who would have thought that? lol
My sister and I were very close growing up. I would turn to her instead of my mom, she was there for me all of the time. Until I was dating the boyfriend before my ex-husband. Because of him, I shut my whole family out of my life. If I didn't break up with him, I'd have lost them totally. Luckily, my sister was there for me when I did break up with him. I really needed her. We are still close to this day, even though we have totally different views on things, which is really nice to have.
