I realize what I miss from my parents and why I gravitate towards Chuck's family...unconditional love. A love that has no boundaries, no strings, no extra commitments. I want parents to ask my about my life, to care about the bad things that happen to me as well as the good. I want them to not say they don't ask because they are not prying into my life. They should care enough to PRY, to be NOSY.
My parents just ask me about the weather, my job and then they tell me about the same...I don't understand, how is that enough of a relationship with your child? I see Chuck's parents and we talk about everything, all the time, they ask what has been going on and what has been happening. They are there through the bad as well as the good and they care about each other no matter what has happened in the past, they really, REALLY just want their children to be happy. They understand that happiness comes with obstacles and trials and bad times, that it doesn't just happen because they wish it to...
Why can I not have that with my parents. Why can I not expect that from my parents? Why is that too much to ask?
I have decided I will meet with them but they will have to talk first, I will not be the one to bare my heart first this time, it did me no good the last time. Now I just have to figure out where to meet them...
