Found this when surfing...something about them really hit the spot.

1. I'd like you to choose five adjectives that reflect your childhood relationship with your mother. This might take some time, and then I'm going to ask you why you chose them. (Repeated for father)

2. To which parent did you feel closest and why? Why isn't there this feeling with the other parent?

3. When you were upset as a child, what would you do?

4. What is the first time you remember being separated from your parents? How did you and they respond?

Mdaze - thanks for posting this, very interesting.

Strange though.... for all that I went through in growing up years, and there was a lot.... for #3 I had no answer, not one word.

Sitting, Yes I could answer number 3, though it felt wierd, because suddenly I saw the loneliness in it, where as a child, that was missing. I just felt you just got on with it, the unspoken message from the unavaliable parent being passed on down the generation. The revisiting what one did as a child is a bit like being taken through xmas past with the the ghost of xmas and seeing it through a new set of eyes.

I just felt these questions were a good nudge in remembering things that sometimes alude me.
