Lonegael - it's quite hard to answer your questions. I don't think I've ever been particularly close to my parents. I grew up a bit of a loner, and at the time it was fine (High School Years) I guess there were a lot of social skills I missed out on.
Now I battle with abandonment issues. I also am very much influenced by my boyfriend. I take on a different identity around him.
My parents and I have a "professional" relationship.
