Paul went on IG Live this afternoon after Karine called the police. I have not watched the video, but bloggers report that Paul accused Karine of drinking in front of their son, domestic violence (shoving him), giving him an STD, and being pregnant again. The video ends with Karine asking to be taken to a shelter. Very sad.

10! I call her a couple times a day usually, when I have random news or things that happened in my day (good things)
Pro
I love it hehe
Honestly, 15! She was my soulmate, she died in 2015 and I miss her everyday. I would start and end my day talking to her. I wish she was here now..
and I’m so sorry you lost you mother. Know that she continues to live in you and your thoughts and actions!
10! Love my mom!! 💛

34/F/Asian & rating it at 7-8. But between ages 8-25 it was a 1-2. Just like a few other professionals here, our relationship has been blossoming as we’ve been aging, but I also told my mom everything she did wrong as a parent and how she could have been better as a mom if she wasn’t so narcissistic and controlling, had unrealistic expectations, etc etc.
I am lucky! 10!!!
F 35, it would say a Nine!
Love my mother!
Male and 1. Although I’m jealous if other guys who know the love of a mother and have a mother figure, it’s made me a lot stronger if a person
I don’t get how that happens. I hate being taken care of and mothered. I feel like it’s the mama’s boys who need an SO that takes care of them like their mom, or have way too high expectations because of it
3-4 in my teens to early 20’s and now 10 in my early 30’s.
A solid 5, I love my mother but I have got to a point where I can't live with her anymore.
7. I’m very closer with her as in I talk and see her a lot but she has never been there as a true support person (emotionally) but she has a lot of her own stuff she’s never worked through so I’ve just accepted that she just isn’t aware and is doing what she knows.
What would be the situation if the case in other way , does your mother leave you being have a mentally not grown child
To be honest , though I love my mother after I lost my dad at 5 , I used to have small queralles , never realized when she was alive how more I am attached to her . Feel sad everyday now after I lost my mom 4 years back today.
According to her a solid 10, me 5.
We are really close in some aspects but she still does not acknowledge the fact that I’m gay and lives in an imaginary world.
10. Fight like sisters , but best friends.
I’d say 9. I talk to my mom several times a day, but I would never share some things like sex or any intimate details.
10. My mom is one of my favorite people. I call her at least 15 times per day for any and everything. I feel really blessed to have a mother like
Her
F and i would say 10. I love my mom. She’s my best friend.

If not 10, definitely 8+. Both my parents were very involved and loving when I was young (sadly my dad passed away last year). I still talk to my mom at least once a week. She lives nearby and is very involved with her grandchildren. I still go to her for advice or just to vent, and trust her opinions on many matters incl relationships, faith, family, work, etc. I'm a male (that seems to be an important distinction here).

10, I love her so much and she is just the bestest
She was pretty progressive as a parent, she allowed ocassional mental health days from school etc
We all have a little bit of trauma but as a parent, my mom is golden.
I guess one of the points above is valid - I may not share every single thing in my life with her (though I'm sure she would be fine with that)
Just feel like some things aren't really for parental discussion
For those wondering about gender, I am female haha
Maybe 3 or 4 and male here. Assumes I talk behind her back. Growing up there was nothing but yelling and cursing in the household. Always fighting with someone in the household. Even called the cops on me because I decided to shave my head one summer. She has even called me a traitor because I decided to find my biological dad and that side of the family. She continues to say spiteful things to me because I I don't bother with her. I call her maybe once every 3 months. She doesn't get that just because she's my mother doesn't mean your entitled to me when you continue to treat me like this. She even latches on to people who I may start dating and blows up their phone. Quiet honestly I can easily never speak to her again and not be bothered by it. Unfortunately I believe this has affected my ability to have a healthy relationship with someone somehow. Considering speaking to a therapist. For everyone else I wish you well.
Definitely suggest a therapist could help especially if its effecting your ability to have healthy relationships

I don't talk to my mom often maybe 1x week (but that's a whole family call). Growing up she was always willing to listen to my issues and she worked incredibly hard and then took care of all the house stuff (parents had a very traditional relationship except my mom worked as well lol).
We're maybe not quote on quote besties telling each other everything but I don't think I text anyone everyday other than the wife. I would do anything for my mom and if she ever needed anything I would volunteer or be there in a heartbeat. I also know that if I ever needed someone to talk to she would listen and give me sage wisdom.
1. I let my wife update her on developments.
