Not close with any of my parents since i remember
Ever since I remember I have never been close with either of my parents, especially my dad and lately I feel that I'm getting farther from my mom as well. Yes, they have raised me and paid for my school (k-12) and fed me, etc, but for some reason, I'm never emotionally close with them. I never tell them about any of my feelings. Also, I usually wish my parents were more like some of my friends' parents. Recently though, I met someone who doesn't have any children and I like her a lot. I don't know her too much but I wish she WAS my mom. At this point, I wish I could just like move out and live with her. Is it normal to never be close with your parents even if they haven't been bad to you? Is it normal to want to have someone else as your parent, again even if your own parent has done anything wrong?
