I consider my dad as one of my best friends. Before my ex-fiancée cheated on me, I even chose him to be my best man at the wedding. As a child, I was very clingy towards him and I always said that if my parents ever separated, I'd live with my father. I don't know why but I feel more comfortable around him than my mother. I always go to him for advice or help and he was there for me when I was struggling with my heart problems. Now I've moved to a big city, far away from him, I get sad sometimes because he's not nearby anymore. I also idolise my father like, he always dresses smart and slick and has a interest in cars and I am resemble him a lot and have posters of Ferraris on my walls and he always loved classic rock so I'd sit alone in my free time and would chill out to the Beatles, Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers etc. Am I weird or is this normal for someone close to a parent?

    It's not only normal, but also admirable. You are lucky to have such relationship with your father. Not everyone is able to be so close to their parents. Enjoy it!

    Of course it is normal. I'm not sure if you have kids, I do and I am close with them and always hope to be. Cherish your time with him, be thankful you are close. He won't be there forever.

    When i read your post I felt a bit of envy. I wish I had a relationship like that with my father as well.
