I am only 19 but I massively respect my Dad and my Mum, I recall they once very jokingly asked me when I was 12 if they were to split up which one of them would I likely choose to stay with, without any hesitation I said my Mum so my answer is that I feel closer to my Mum than Dad.

Wouldn't like to be without either though.

I'm a bit a weird one I suppose - growing up I guess I was more close to my dad, as my parents divorced and my mum left him to live in Italy when I was five. I think that was cause my dad was my sort of everyday parent, and though I did (and still do) love my mum, I do remember having this feeling of resentment towards her when I was younger for constantly uprooting me and making go out and visit her in Italy, which I detested as her boyfriend was a total piece of ****.

That's changed now though I think. My mum lives in Ireland n her own now so I can visit her mor e often and more easily in addition to the fact that she left that asshole. She's also the only person in my family that I'm totally open with about my sexuality so that's kinda made us more close I suppose, thought I still see our, relationship on par with the one I have with my dad in terms of closeness.

When I was little though and before my mum left, I was apparently inseparable from her. Hmm.

Both my parents are no longer alive, but I was most definately closer to my Dad. I know I was my Dad's favourite, and I think my Mum sort of held that against me and I would say I was her least favourite for that reason. but I still loved both dearly regardless.

I've never been close to just one of my parents, I love them both equally and spend as much time as I can with the both of them, they've been their for me when I needed them and I did the same.

Even when I came out my Dad didn't see it as an opportunity to stop caring about me and to be fair, that is when we had a breakthrough and were closer than ever.

But if I had to say, it would be my Mum who I've always been close too, especially when I was 14.

My dad traveled because of his work throughout most of my childhood. He was gone for months at a time. So my mother.

My parents were killed by "He who must not be named" when I was very young. Thankfully I survived, marked only with a lightening shaped scar on my forehead...

Didn't know my dad, so my mum by default. Though haven't really been close to her since before my teens.

I had no contact at all with my dad from the age of 5 until I was 21 when he contacted me out the blue, so obviously I'm closer to my mum. My dad was a drunk and a fool but I have never felt anger or resentment towards him, just pity. My mum raised my sister and me with the help if my Grandma and I have to say she did a spiffing job! I'm still very close to my mam and love her loads
