My mom is awesome. She is one of my best friends and a pillar of strength for me.
My dad....not so much.

How do you feel about them personally?
My mom and dad got a divorce when I was about 14.
They were very bad parents as far as parenting skills go.
Neither of them had any business procreating. But they did and here I am.

Parents were high school sweethearts and have been together for 30+ years.
Great parents who have always been there for me. I pulled the usual snot nosed teenager stuff and thankfully my parents let that go about 10 feet before popping me in the nose (not literally) and telling me that shit wasn't going to fly.
During college I pulled a 360 from what i'd been planning (switched majors, left rotc, etc.) and they never once said a word (my dad is still in the military (27 years) and he backed me 100%).
I wouldn't be who I was without them and I thank them every chance I get.

Sorry to hear that. Did they abuse you or each other physically or verbally? You don't have to answer that.
I have come to the realization though that some parents just do the best they know how. As long as there is no abuse in the home I don't know that I fault the parents for sub par parenting skills as much as I used to. It sounds like a cop out, but maybe one day you'll see what I'm a saying.
As for myself, I have great parents. (Only one living right now). They aren't perfect, but pretty darn close.
