Do you trust/confide in your parents?

Post Reply New Topic

Not really; I've always had kind of an emotional disconnect from my parents, same as I have from everyone, that I can probably chalk up to the Asperger's. I mean, I like my parents just fine, but I don't feel I can talk with them about serious things and I prefer that I keep them out of my personal life. I'm glad to tell them about developments in my life (bands I'm playing with, things I'm doing with friends, etc.), but I don't feel comfortable if I had to discuss personal matters with them.

I confide in my birds , they care.

It's kind of a weird story. Because my parents are separated and my dad is one of the people I trust the most in my life. So I do tell him a lot but for some reason the whole asperger thing just goes over his head (he doesn't have it) like he just doesn't get it but that's fine with me... ish. As for my mom every time I say a comment, it turns into a conversation that can literally last for up to 3 hours. So yeah
I don't quite like my mom

I don't confide much in my father anymore, he has never been openly supportive of my diagnosis although isn't openly critical about it either. Kind of sad cause growing up he was the only one that did actively care about my mental well being. He has a stigma against official diagnoses I guess, which I don't blame him, considering there can be some disadvantages to it. He's told me he wont try to pry at my personal issues and I'm kind of thankful for it in a way. There isn't a lot of tension and I feel kind of safe going to his house when I make the occasional trip back home from uni. Although this may be beginning to change, last visit we did have a small chat about the depression I had experienced this past semester.

My mother has been given more and more of my confidence in recent months. She's been really supportive of my diagnosis to the point that although well meant, ended up reading into some of the wrong sources on it. We had a talk about that about a month ago though and it's all good now. She gets to hear about all my emotional baggage as well I guess.

My family might be broken and disfigured, but it definitely isn't dead and might be beginning to thrive again. I don't feel quite like a stranger at home anymore, having the beginning of adult relationships with your parents is awesome.

I tell my dad absolutely nothing - typical old Irish guy. Not to complain, swear, nothing EVER.

I talk to my mom about a lot, but I don't share EVERYTHING with her. Some things are my business, but at my age she needs to know a few things.

I don't fully trust parents. But they're on a need-to-know basis.

Nope, never have, my mum over analysis everything and for days will keep returning to the same subject and never lets anything rest. Form a young age I learnt to be as private as possible.

I keep all of my problems to myself, never tell anyone including my parents about them, I prefer people to think that everything's going well do I can work all the sh*t out by myself.

i prefer to keep things to myself (or maybe my close friends) but my parents, especially my mother, are very protective of me and always try to find out (i've seen her rummaging through my stuff before) :/
