Some people found it difficult to understand my relationship with my father, but that may have been because they couldn't get beyond their relationship with their own parents.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had a very difficult relationship with my father, which ended up okay, but there were many difficult years.
My parents came from different backgrounds. My father's was grander than my mother's, so my mother had... to put up with the disapproval of my father's relations.
I had a very distant relationship with my father. It was always just me and my mother. It was a shattering blow when she died. I was 16.
My relationships with both my mother and father are good. We spent several difficult years hashing over the problems and the past, and worked out a fairly solid middle ground. I wouldn't say my relationship with either of them - they're no longer together - is exactly typical, but that would be difficult after all we went through.
My relationship with my father is pretty non-existent.
Anyone who reads my work will see that there are often difficult relationships between fathers and sons.
I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.
My parents divorced when I was young but I was brought up in two really loving households. I didn't have a contentious relationship with my mom or dad.
My parents weren't married. It wasn't like my dad up and left. I maintained a steady relationship with my grandparents. My dad's mother is my nana, and I'm closer to her than almost anybody in this world.
I didn't know my father very well; I only met him a few times.
