Good, Bad? do you know them, but you feel like they don't really know you for who you really are on the streets? Or do they know exactly what you do and stress you 24/7 about it?

I think age is gonna have a lot to do with this post so state your age at some point.

I don't think I've been through it all but I've been through a lot with them; loving them, hating them, accepting them, becoming friends with them, losing their trust and gaining it back just to lose it again. Now, at 25, my relationship with them is good. Although my younger years were bad, after I got out of CYA a lot of shit changed. Now that I'm out of college, working, and making it on my own they are more like friends than authority figures.

Where are you at with them?

Good post bro.

I'm 26.
Relationship with them is pretty good overall.
We're pretty close. My whole family is.
We have issues with money at times but that's about it.
I'm staying with them again so I have to respect
the rules of the house. No drinking, no women
and being home no later than midnight. If it gets
later than that, I can't come home until the following day.
They know about my past gang affiliations, but
they think I'm out of that "stage". They don't like me kickin
it with my homeboys but it's hard to find loyal friends that'll
be there for you no matter what.

I'm 18.
So I'm still young. My mom and dad don't "know" that I get into it with other fools, although they have their suspicions, and I'd like to keep it that way. My pops has a weak heart and anything huge could kill him. Although I love them I don't like them because of some shit they've done in the past. I've been kicked out my house, been beat by them, starved with them, slept in garages with them, etc. Although we have our problems we stick together, because who else besides your family and homies do you have?

i am 21, been on my own for like over 3 years. i lived with my dad in oklahoma, but he was rarely there at all like my whole senior year and through that summer before i joined the coast guard. i was never into drugs or liquor, but i had me a stable of broads that would frequent my house.......that he was payin rent for. he would show up from time to time, kick down with some funds time and again cause i had just lost my job and couldn't find one that paid as well as that one. me and him are more like friends than father/son. all my homies say he's like the coolest old dood you'll ever meet and shit, it's just that he ain't a good father. he cheated on my mom, while she was pregnant with me, with who would later by my next stepmom..........so shit was faulty between my folks since i was a kid you know? me and my mom get along, but she is so stubborn that she gets pissed and hangs up the phone without letting me talk, i hate that shit. i try and do what i can to be nice to them though, regardless of what they have done. they don't really know shit about me though as far as me being a person. they don't give me credit for shit and they don't think i am nearly as smart as i really am. i guess i get along with them okay, but they don't really know shit about me.

my closest homeboy's mom is basically my mom as far as i am concerned, she loves me more than my own parents do, i'd do anything for her. i am sure some of y'all can relate to that

for a few years I used to think "blood's thicker than water, but water will do" 'cause of some shit that happened... Lately I'm finding out that my dad will be there for me no questions asked to do what needs to be done (with that said, I dont bang or anything like that). My mom on the other hand, it seems that I'd have to give her a huge explination for why I might need help. I have a good relationship with them, but I think my relationship with my dad is the strongest out of all of mine with family. Being 20 and able to sit down with my folks and talk about adult things since I was a young kid has helped us stay close through thick n' thin... but if it wasn't for my dad being shot and my brother's run ins with the law I don't know how close I'd be with those two.

my jefita passed when I was really young like 8 years ago. but are relationship was always cool. I was one of those fools like could bash a fools window in or steal shit but once around my jefita it was all respect. which is stupid cause if I respected her I should not have done shit.

my jefe we have always been cool to. cause he is a straight famero veterano. he says he needs more years to be a vet but all his homies say he is. he was walking prison yards when I was playing in school. He stayed in Tulare county and I stayed in Fresno so we talked alot when we could but being under CPS, cause my jefita passed and my jefe was doing some vacation time, I chose to shit to get me in YA instead. me and my jefe talk all the time though.
