I was extremely close with my parents. Breaking away from that is a double-edged sword: It's something you need to do, but it's hard to cut the apron strings.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a very close relationship with my parents.
I think my parents had a hard time dealing with me.
I'm exceptionally open with my own parents, and they're exceptionally open with me.
I remember my oldest son, Steve, saying to me once, 'I don't ever remember seeing you with an apron on.' And I thought, that's right, honey, you did not. That was his concept of what a mother should be.
I've always stayed really close with my mother and my father.
Seeing your parents fall apart is really rough. I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
I don't keep secrets from my parents, really; it's pretty open.
My parents didn't really know one another.
I am close - too close - with my family.
Pulling away from your parents, that's the natural thing to do; that's how life progresses.
