My mum and I are very very close,she is amazing.

My dad I see rarely and we have no relationship.

My siblings,well I have so many,close to a few but not all of them,some of them I never see.

My best friend is my mum and Tom ;) My female best friend and I are not close right now sadly :(

[Jurgita]

I will just say I have WONDERFUL relationship with each of those people (except stepparents, since I don't have any) I am very close with my dh, mom, dad, my sister and my best friend! I thank God everyday for those people in my life!

[Joni]

My husband and I are best friends. We do absolutely everything together. I don't know if it's possible to be closer to a person than we are to each other.

I am close to my mom. She and I chat almost every day. We go on shopping trips and out for lunch.

I am also close to my dad. We even took a trip to Europe together a few years ago. We have the same sarcastic sense of humour, so he's my favourite person to banter with.

I have one brother, and he and I are close as well. We're complete opposites which sometimes leads to some head-butting, but he's a great guy and we try to get together fairly often for coffee.

I have very few close friends. My cousin is my best friend, and I love her to bits. Unfortunately we don't see each other that often (once every few weeks) because we both have busy lives. Last summer we took a trip together for a weekend, and we plan to do it again this summer. I have another pretty close friend. We get together for scrapbooking, games, movies, etc. every so often.

I'm also pretty close to Dave's three sisters. One of them lives nearby, so I visit her every so often. I worked with another one, and we travelled together. I probably know more about her than the other two. And the third one I don't see as often, but when we get together we can gab for hours.

[Kristi]

SO? Wonderful. Alot better than it has been in the past. I adore my husband and could not imagine my life without him. We just get closer and closer

Mom? Great. My mother is truly one of my best friends. I talk to her daily and can talk to her about pretty much anything. Things have been wonderful between us since i Moved to Italy and we grow closer and closer.

Dad? Fantastic. I am a daddy's girl. I love my Daddy. We get along great. (And Tim always makes fun of me for saying Daddy still LOL)

Stepparents? Have none

Siblings? Pretty good. My 17 yr old Sister Bekki and I are really close we talk often and when we are together we talk and hang out and have fun. I would consider her one of my best friends too. My 19 yr old brother I do not talk to often because ya know he is too cool to do the whole family thing. But we get along great and are pretty close when we do talk we can talk about anything. My 12 yrs old brother is my baby LOL Okay not really but since he was born I have adored and spoiled him so we are pretty close. I talk to him whenever I call and we get along good. My 9 yr old brother, I love him to death but he drives me nuts he is the classic baby of the family and is a spoiled brat. :giggle Of all my siblings I was closest with my sister who passed away 3 yrs ago/

Best friend? Well I have two. Lisa is my best/f from HS who I have known for 9 yrs now. We lost touch for one of those years but are in contact now. We are as close as ever. No matter how much time goes between when we see or talk to each other we always pick right up where we left off. She has been there through all the major events in my life. And I love her to death. I wish she was closer (she is in Fla I am in Va.) but we talk atleast once a week on the phone and send each other messages on myspace almost everyday.
The other is Abbey I met her when we lived in Italy but she just moved to Texas. We are pretty close. But she is going through a rough time in her life right now and has been trying to sort all that out so I do not hear from her as often as I used to. But I write her tons and she answers when shes able And we talk on the phone about evey other week. Sometmes more sometimes less often.

[Christine]

SO? Strong, loving, compatible, fun.

Mom? A close friendship

Dad? Dysfunctional and tolerant

Stepparents? A friendship with my stepdad.

Siblings? My sister and I are friends, but have VERY different lives and different belief systems.

Best friend? I have been blessed with two and with both I'm loved for who I am, not what they expect me to be and it's very refreshing. :D

[Lori]

Other than Sean, who I'd say I generally have a good relationship with ;), I don't live anywhere near the rest of my family or my best friend. :(

I love love love my family and my best friend, but I so rarely get to see them, and it can be difficult to keep in touch.

[Tlee]

What is your relationship like with your....

SO? We have a great relationship, far from perfect but still good.

Mom? I have several of these, lol.... My birth mother we have recently starting talking after a long time and we are working getting to know each other. I grew up with my aunt so I never really knew my real mom. As for my aunt we have a good relationship now that I don't live at home. She is in California and we talk on the phone a few times a month. My other mom figure is my MIL and I have a great relationship with her. It wasn't always this way and as long as we avoid certain subjects we get along great.

Dad? Not so great. Nothing bad but I am just not really in touch with him. Same with the uncle I grew up with. As for my FIL we get along but are not close.

Stepparents? N/A

Siblings? I only have one sister. She is in Ca and we are not really close. She has a lot of issues and I try to be there for her with what I can.

Best friend? N/A

[Shana]

SO? Great great great great great !!!!! Oh yeah. Did I say great:cloud9

Mom? Well. Better than it ever has been. And that is saying a LOT:rolleyes

Dad? My dad is my SuperHero. 'Nuff Said.

Siblings? Very good with my 2 sisters, and, rather strained with my brother.

Best friend? Eh. It varies. Sometimes we are doing wonderfully, other times I think she is thoroughly irresponsible and I want to smack her :beat

[MommyBug77]

SO? up & down

Mom? pretty good

Dad? ok

Stepparents? non existant these days

Siblings? great with my sisters, fine with my brother

Best friend? great

[Kami]

What is your relationship like with your....

SO? Well I don't really have one! LOL There is this guy that I have been talking to and seeing on occasion. THings are pretty good with us, but we haven't actually had the talk about becoming exclusive. I think we are both to scared of commitment right now, so things are great the way they are!

Mom? Love her!! We get along very well, but she can drive me crazy soemtimes!

Dad? Same as my Mom!

Siblings? We get along very well! Much better now that we are all grown up!

Best friend? I have 3 and I cherish each of them dearly! I don't get to see 2 of them as much as I would like, but we make the most of our time together!

[MomOfHeathens]

What is your relationship like with your....

SO? MUCH better than it was 6, 5, or even 2 years ago. We've gone through hell together (his father's drowning, my diagnosis and cancers, the kids' diagnsosis and cancer, surgeries, my weight gain from meds, side effects, scary test results, the knowledge that this cancer will kill me...unless I get hit by a bus *snort*, and everything else you can imagine!) and we were one of those messed up couples who just turned on each other whenever things got hard. It was also hard because we were both raised with verbal and emotional abuse but whereas he tended to act like them I wanted to be nothing like my parents. It has taken us many years and alot of tears but I'm proud to say that he has finally seen the light over the years and has changed alot. He's not perfect but he's not the name-calling a-hole that some of you might remember from 4-5 years ago. He also puts up with my crap which sometimes is very hard. I'm very proud of him.

Mom? My mother is a psycho, self-absorbed, and I can't stand her.

Dad? *sounding like Bruce from Finding Nemo* I never knew my father! LOL

Stepparents? My stepfather is basically just my mother's minion and doormat.

Siblings? I was raised with my two brothers and have no contact with them. I've known my sister for 8 years (she was given up for adoption) and we talk weekly...UGH...long story.

Best friend? My best friend is great. It took me a long time to find her but now I can't imagine life without her!

[Shasta]

SO? - Our relationship is pretty good, I can't imagine life without him, we have our share of fights but in the end, we love each other very much.

Mom? - My MOM and I are very close, she's my mom and my friend, we talk almost always twice a day. My birthmom- we talk but we're not close at all.

Dad? - I love my dad, he's a great guy and doesn't get as much credit for it as he should. I see him at least a few times a month and we talk on the phone too.

Stepparents? - None

Siblings? - I have an 11 year old brother so we don't really "hang out" because of the age difference but I love him very much, he's a great kid.

Best friend? - Besides Mike and my Mom, I have 3 people I would consider a best friend. Crazy enough, two of them are in jail. First being my cousin, we're not even a year apart in age and we grew up like brother and sister, he practically lived at my house and we have always been super close, unfortunetly, he had some crappy friends and got in to hard drugs last year and was driving the getaway car while his friend robbed a local gas station at knifepoint. So he got 23 months in jail. I think it was good for him actually, he's realized how messed up he let his life get, he has a 1 year old daughter who he misses very much and that's enough reason to turn his life around. He's actually able to take college courses and stuff in jail. We write very often, I send him pics. They moved him about 2 hours away this month though so visiting is hard now. Friend number 2, she's also in jail (local), for drugs and is about 23 weeks pregnant with a little boy. We've been like sisters since 8th grade and part of me is so mad at her for lying to me and doing the things she's done to herself, but I forgive her and plan to be there for her when she gets out in May. Friend number 3, we became friends through our sons last year. Taj goes to headstart with her son. We get along great and have a lot of fun together. Just don't get to see her as much as we would like.

[Desirae]

SO? Awesome:D So so awesome.

Mom? Fine:) We have been close forever although we're a lot alike so it can be hard at times.

Dad? Good! We have always had a good relationship.

Siblings? Overall things are great with all of them... I'm terrified for my sister Moriah (loser dangerous ex is now fiance) which is very stressful on our relationship but what can you do. *Sigh*

Best friend? Gets better and closer every day:D which I didn't know was possible! ;)
