I'm still craving approval from my parents. It took a lot of success for me to realize it was never coming. It's just not in their nature.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I know it sounds really weedy, but we are all children who seek approval from our parents.
I've always wanted to be sure my parents approve of what I do.
Children now expect their parents to audition for approval.
My parents have been with me every step of the way.
I've had to wean myself away to make sure that any choices I make are grounded in myself rather than the seeking of approval.
I've outlived my parents, and I've had some wonderful second chances in life. I feel remarkably uncheated.
Certainly my parents were a huge influence. They always expected the most out of all of us. And expected us to do our very best. I'm thankful to them for allowing me to do what I wanted to do.
My parents have been really supportive right from the very beginning.
My parents were always very supportive and accepting. They even shared my curiosity for life, or perhaps I theirs.
My parents must have done a great job. Anytime I wanted to pursue something that they weren't familiar with, that was not part of their lifestyle, they let me go ahead and do it.
