Answer

I only had my mom till I was 11, then she left me and my grandma had to raise me. I wonder what it's like to have both parents, and a good relationship with them.

Answer

I just had my mom and it was really crazy. My mom an dad were married then she got pregnant and about 5 months after I was here they got a divorce. Neither one ever had any other kids so I'm a true only child. Things were crazy because my dad wanted to take me to another state and she didn't want that so he kidnapped me at just about 1 years old but of course they found me IN ANOTHER STATE an he went to jail so my mom had full custody and since I had never grew up with a male or father figure when she started dating and having men moving in it was chaotic, I almost went to jail twice for pulling a knife on her exhusband & to this day I still have problems with male authority and very bad anger issues. It defentialy affects you from childhood to adulthood.

I had my mom and dad. My husband didn't. He was raised by his mom and her boyfriends. Our lives were so different as kids. I was also raised in a middle class family and he was in the lower class. So talking about things like Christmas or family vacations is enlighting for both of us.
