I don't remember a lot of my parent's relationship tbh. I'm sure they loved each other, supported each other and worked together. I remember a lot of demeaning and nasty relationships after my dad passed away though. My mom's relationship has taught me a lot about men and I think that's when my personality started to change. Let's just say that I went from a nice, shy and quiet girl to a dominant, out-spoken, and tough kind of gal. My "ex" had a tough time with me. I refused to allow him to wear the pants in the relationship. I refused to listen, back down and challenged him in many ways. He took the lead but fail to respect and treat me as a woman. My "ex" was just one of those men although he never used me. I should have never gave in. I was disappointed in myself. Now I know better. With my friends, I'm always showing tough love to them.
My father died when I was a baby, and I grew up in an institution. I have nothing to draw upon as a result. I believe my instincts as a father developed very well on my own, independent of any outside influence, but I can't say the same about being a husband.
Maybe that's why I should have never gotten married.
