Tia,
If I read you right , the answer is yes. While my childhood was not straight out of a Rockwell painting, it was darn close. Dad passed in 1988 and we were, aside for a few years during my teens, were very close. Compared to many, I guess even what I call "distant" was still very close.I had minor rules but was not allowed to do anything I wanted, either. The main thing was though, I think, EVERYTHING was always debateable. "Final answers" were usually a compromise. I thank both my parent for my beliefes and charecter.
At 33, my mom is still one of my best friends and I think Dad would be, too, if he were still here. Perhaps, I am a mess because we were "too functional"???
