If you could change your parents, would you do so?

Well, my dad left us when I was 10, with a mother who was schizophrenic and alcoholic. She tortured us (tried to kill us twice) until she finally killed herself when I was 30. **I should write a book** I'm not close to my dad to this day and only see or talk to him a couple times a year (he's 80 now and thinks we are terrible kids for "ignoring" him) Would I change my parents? Well, if I could I would not have grown up to be the incredibly strong, independent, empathetic person I am today. It's what makes me a great teacher of handicapped kids. It's what makes me ME and I happen to like they way I turned out in spite. My sisters are the same way, we all turned out great, working our way through college with no help and are all professionals with wonderful families. Yes, better parents would have been easier, but we would not have turned out the way we did.

No.
But I would change their lives so they didn't get a divorce.
But not them. They're the way they are for a reason.

I would make my mom 10 years younger. She is starting to age pretty fast and I worry about her.

my dad cant but my mom sometime can do it

No way, but i wld change certain things bout 'em. But I'm grateful for them, bcos of who I've grown to be.

nope...parents are the most important thing in the world...that's the first thing that i learned in this world....they were the ones who's always with me ever since i was born.,, so i won't change them for anyone...

My Dad I would love to have back with me-He passed several years ago, my Mom she is cool but she can be tough also.She helps me a lot though. I think the only thing I would change about Mom is her taking sides so much and telling my other Sisters what I say all the time.

Yep, I'd bring them back from the dead. My father died 20 years ago and my mother died 6 years ago.

No way, my dad (who died) was awesome, and my mom is my best friend. Wouldn't change a thing about either one of them.

Nope

The only thing I would change is to bring my Dad back to life.
