    So... here's something...

    Do you respect your parents? Do you obey their wishes?

    I have all the respect in the world for my mother, she is my best friend. I have none at all for my biological father. He never even wanted children and has stated that in the past. My step father is another piss-poor excuse for a human being, he and I have never gotten along. He hates me and I fully reciprocate the feeling. So to answer the question, yes I respect my parent. My mom has always been there for me. She's wonderful.

    I'm sorry. That doesn't sound too... pleasant.
    Do they not like you because you're gay?

    Oh no, it's not that. In fact I'm not even out yet. My step dad just plain doesn't like me, he is stuck in the 50's and I don't agree with anything he says. We've always been that way. My biological dad on the other hand is just someone who never bothers to keep in touch with his 4 (count 'em 4) children from 2 failed marriages. He actually has a granddaughter too, whom he has seen once.

    Thank you by the way. :slight_smile:

    I respect the people that raised me, but they aren't my biological parents.
    Those people, I'm not so sure. They had unprotected sex at age 16, and my bio mother never told anyone she was pregnant, didn't seek prenatal care, so basically she endangered both of our lives. So yes and no.

    Well, at least she was smart enough to give me away and realize how much she screwed up :slight_smile:

    Yeah. I guess you're right. Have you ever tried looking her up, or finding her someway?

    I love and respect them both. We fight at times, but who doesn't with their parents? I know they have my best interests at heart and I care about them mutually. The only time I remember hating them was when they first split up but looking back, it was the best decision on their parts. I also have a lot of respect for my step-parents too, despite not being genetically related to either of them, they again do look out for me and my sis. :slight_smile:
