Lol. I feel the exact opposite. I don't talk with my dad anymore. On rare occasisons but other than that... no. I come from a deaf family so it was always hard to talk with them because you can't express emotions through hands as much as you can through spoken word in my opinion. I can't really talk to my mom about anything personal because she grew up without a sense of logic due to an abusive family. That's how I take it anyway, growing up 18 years with her. 19, even. I moved out at 19 with my now-fiancee.

I'm now 21 and really couldn't give a shit if my dad died. My stepdad however, I'd be sad only because my mom would have to spend money on a cab to get around. I'm 21 and have no need for driving. I'm not really close to my mom either, closer than I am with my dad but maybe by half a mile. My stepdad's a good guy but the only person I felt filled a father role was my Grandpa and he's been dead for... 3 years now, I think. It's just one of those things I have to live with. I know I don't actually HAVE to and I know it's not too late to reconnect with my dad... but I just don't want to.
