They would continue to talk with me and try to be there for me as I would go though friends, jobs, and experience failures. I would listen to them and sometimes take their advice, but never really considered them my friends. 2 Time and time again, through every event in my childhood, my parents would always have my back. When I would have problems with the friends, boyfriends, or co-workers, my parents would always be there at the end of each day to sit and talk with me about my problems. When I was having a hard time with something and I needed to pour my heart out, they would always be there to listen to me.
