How were your parents? And how does that link to your orientation ?

I am wondering how accurately gender preferences correlate with childhood issues and the relationship we all had with out parents. How would you describe your parents, and their relationship (to each other and to you and/or your siblings) in a paragraph?

My father is pretty narcissistic, rather insensitive and and emotionally abusive to my mother. He was both physically and emotionally abusive up to a certain degree to me and my siblings as well till we moved away and were on our own. He still loves us in his own way, but he definitely has issues of his own that he never acknowledged. While we grew up my mother was loving, but too depressive (and sometimes suicidal) to really be there for us when we needed her, or to stand up to our father. I heavily rejected my father's model and gravitated a lot more towards my mother who I thought needed to be protected (my older brother is a bit more like my father though and he is straight).

What about you ?
