Are you closer to your friends, than you are to your family?

I may be closer with my friends, and they may know more about me, but my mom gets me more than I will ever know.

I just have to see her and she knows what's going on with me.

Most definitely.

I've known my best friend for 21 years. In those 21 years we have become the kind of friends wherein nothing is held back, or saved for later, or unsaid. She is the only person who knows pretty much everything about me. Even the ugly/sad/petty/unspeakable stuff you normally don't tell anybody at all, because you don't want to be judged. The stuff that runs through your mind late at night before you fall asleep? I tell her all that, too. And it's a two-way street. Our pact is that no matter what she says, or what I say, there is no judgement. Just support. Just an open mind. An open heart. A sounding board. Whatever you want to call it. In other words, she is my safety zone, and I am hers. I trust her implicitly.

I wish I had that with my mother, but she was a very traditional parent who to this day treats me like a child. (I am 40... lol) My siblings are all 14+ years older than me, and while I love each and every one of them we aren't really close.

I'm closer to my mom... I really don't have those type of friends. My friends are "bar buddies"

My best friend moved to BFE

I don't see him or talk to him anymore. He got overcome with religion. Which is hard to believe given the stuff we used to do.

He does not preach though. He knows I would get pissed off.

Just that he is very involved with the church which he never was an home schools his kids

I miss the old days. I thought they sucked back then but no so much compared to now

I am much closer to my friends that my family. They can understand me on levels that my family can't. It goes both ways though. Sometime only my family can understand me where my friends can't.
