serene56: It's said that mothers and sons, fathers and daughters have a special relationship.Please discuss
I always was closer to my mother.
My parents never favoured someone openly, but I think my brother was closest to my dad and I'm closest to mum.

A son,s a son until he gets a wife , a daughter,s a daughter all her life ...My parents never favoured someone openly, but I think my brother was closest to my dad and I'm closest to mum.

I heard that quote before and there is truth in int.
Although, my brother is back at home and it's me who is far away - something my mum found very hard to accept.

It was said to me recently that a daughter looks to her father to cherish her, she needs to be the apple of his eye and he should never let her down.
Mothers and sons have a bond that is a given, he will look to her for affection and support without question.

Yes, I question this as I think it may be outdated.
These days women are empowered, men maybe not so much

This an old and very true saying especially where there are a large or medium size family ...Although, my brother is back at home and it's me who is far away - something my mum found very hard to accept.

I don't know if that's just the thing for everyone. My father wasn't someone to pamper, he was protective but also strict enough.
Both of our parents never let us down, but I think I always went more to mum when there was something wrong. She said once to me that I'm the one who reminds her most of herself, maybe that has something to do with it.

It's a complex issue KN which is why I thought I might open it up for discussion
If I want to delve into my own situation I might say both myself and my daughter did not have strong positive male influences when we were growing up (mine due to the death of my father at an early age, hers due to her father being an alcoholic) and I suspect we have both sought relationships, as adults, with men who we felt would supply this 'need'.

I do think that we are influenced by our upbringing and the people in our life.
We were brought up that we ALWAYS can come home and were there for each other, this is something I value very much and is important in a relationship for me as well - someone I can trust and who is there no matter what (and vice versa). My exes weren't that close to their family and they had a different attitude there, which I found tough.
We had to work and were brought up to be independent, I do notice that I find it sometimes hard to ask people (other than my family and maybe close friends) for help and had a guy giving out about that (he thought I wanted him to chase me, I just didn't want to be on his case all the time).
If it is something that works for you, go for it. Otherwise look into yourself and see what makes you happy. I know this is a lot easier said than done.

In response to: It's said that mothers and sons, fathers and daughters have a special relationship.Please discuss
In my situation I feel very fortunate to have my only precious child. She is 24 and I couldn't be a prouder parent. Although she wasn't raised in a traditional manner, her father and I divorced when she was about 3 and I never remarried, she never once gave me any grief about the divorce, she never misbehaved and she loved both her dad and I equally. She has always been my angel. It is true that I am her mother first and foremost but we are also best friends. Today, she has very successful career in the medical and is in a happy, healthy relationship. I couldn't be happier for her!
This thread brings tears of happiness as I type my response. Thank you for posting a meaningful thread.

Now see, this is interesting Dedo
I left the marriage when my son was 15 and I can honestly say I never stood in the way of any contact between him and his father.
His father has never made any attempt to contact him but my son has, over the past few years, gone to visit him, trying to regain some form of relationship.
As his mother I only look out for further hurt (although I don't go there as my son is a mature adult) but he did say that he thought his father has maybe changed with time which is why your comment resonated with me

I never had the chance to be close to my father.
But my mother and I became close.
