My Aqua dad was a kind, charismatic, hard working, stubborn, abusive, alcoholic son of a bitch, that cared more about fixing his friends cars and getting drunk on his days off than with his wife and kid. He didn't want my mom to get a job or drive. He would cheat and was CHEAP with money, bought old shitty cars , shitty apts, when he had a good paying job. He would always pay his dues and showed up whenever i needed him, but he was quick to find HIS happiness in a new wife and family leaving us behind like 1 2 step...i'll be seeing his widow'd ass eventually and let him know whats up thou.

My aqua dad was very similar minus the drinking. Best day of my life was when I got to knock his ass out cold for assaulting my mother. He was a lot better person after that. All my life up to that point he was a selfish piece of garbage. After, he tried like hell to make amends, and he was good in my book afterwards. click to expandclick to expand

Yeah, I wont get into details but my mom was very selfish and submitted me to lots of terrible things revolving around her and men that left me deeply wounded. She would steal money from me, shes stolen numerous peoples identities. Has a loyalty to NO ONE. All kinds of crazy butter that would take me an hour to write out.
Shes calmed down in her 50's.... but she at her core is capable of extremely selfish behavior, and lying so intensely that it can be frightening.
I never felt like I had a "mother".... I had a roommate. Even her "love" comes from a self gratifying place. No one knows her.....except probably, me.

Posted by LadyNeptuneCult? 😳
My aqua father loved his cult more than his kids and wife. Which is why she left him once we were grown.

Posted by coldwateryvirgoCold uncaring bastard
The reason I ask is . I have and aqua friend dating an aqua guy . This aqua guy ( 21 years old ) just gave up how biological child with his ex away like it was nothing . Even before he gave up his rights, he just saw his son as a burden to pay child support . He never tried to befriend or be in the child life though his parents are really active as grandparents. He has zero connections with his own son nor feels a lost according to my friend .
It’s none of my business but having an aqua dad myself it makes me wonder .
Supposedly he said he would love the kid if he had the child with my friend though
Why does who he have a baby with determine how much you would love a child
So what he said bothered me a little but I didn’t say anything , none of my business . I asked my aqua friend how she felt about that statement and I think she actually didn’t see anything wrong with it . As if it was good that he must love her a lot saying that
So now I’m just interested to see how the future turns out . For the future kid sake , if they have one , I hope it’s good

Posted by heliumfiascoThey both believe that since the kid is so young , if the ex marry a new guy , that guy would feel like the father to the child and the child wouldn’t really be affected because to him , that would feel like his dad and not his birth dad
Also, your friend is gross for even entertaining a man that is capable of that. Just saying....
Posted by coldwateryvirgoWhat in the actual hell? So, basically... hopefully someone else comes along and does what he should be doing. That is the craziest rationalization for being a deadbeat i've ever heard. She sounds selfish for going along with this, its easier for her if he has more money, no baby drama etc. Get yourself a new friend. Her loyalty will be zero towards you, if this is any example. Trust that.Posted by heliumfiasco

Posted by heliumfiascoWe’re not as close anymore since her relationship with this guy . He gets irritated if she doesn’t spend one day with him to go out with her friend instead . I think they have some form of codependency going on . I’m completely open to making new friend these days and been trying to expose myself to new people in order to make friends .Posted by coldwateryvirgoPosted by heliumfiasco

Posted by LostinmyMind11No they should not 👎🏻
My Aqua mom is selfish...only cares about herself. She never really grew up and so I'm basically the parent in our relationship which is really non existent. I can only spend a short amount of time with her because she is just too much with all her fake bs.
Some people should never have kids...and she is one of them. Thank God I'm her only child.

Posted by coldwateryvirgoIt doesn't work like that. You only get one mum and dadPosted by heliumfiasco

Posted by coldwateryvirgoi dont think it is the same with all of them..

My personal opinion from experience = not good
Aqua mom or dad I’ve seen seems to love significant other or the opposite sex , more than their kids ,
As if those relationship are more fulfilling to them than raising children
But that’s just my experience, what was yours
Posted by Lioness18881grandma's are sweet. 😛
My Aqua grandma lived with us in a separate section of our house and she was more like a mum for me. She died when i was 18 but she was always cooking me food and we would play cards everyday and watch tv together and she'd share her blanket with me when it was cold and stuff. She was never mean and always patient so i was really close with her. Her kids and all the grandkids all loved her. She used to throw her chanclas at us and had really good aim 😂 but she was really cute.
Posted by coldwateryvirgoi'm more like a freedom loving mother lol (Also CARE FREE) lmao 😛
My aqua dad was also controlling and abusive . I wonder if it’s a common trend
Oh no I have a strong aqua moon , I need to be cautious of that



Posted by heliumfiasco
Just to clarify, my mom had me at 18. She has grown a lot. Shes in her 50's and has stopped a lot of the behaviors I experienced as a child. She is actually wonderful with my daughter. Not soft, but loves to joke with her, buy her things and take her on trips (money= emotions) She is a good grand mother. My daughter thinks she is the funniest woman on the planet. She is actually hysterical... if youre into extremely DRY humor/ sarcasm.
She is still nasty and stingy with money.... but that will never change.
I love her regardless and I forgive her....I can only now say that at 32.

Posted by MyStarsShineWhen it first sort of happened, it was so weird I actually got emotional and didn't know why until later when I realized it was anger. I was able to let it go by distancing myself emotionally HA just the way he did - should I say he taught me well. But I do have a Cap Moon so it wasn't that hard. And my mother was a certified psycho and she and I had a horrible relationship. I didn't blame him for leaving but he left us with her and he knew she was cray cray - bad cray cray. Anywho most of this scenario happened years ago and I did talk to him more often then but now, only about every few months, actually his memory isn't that great anymore so he never calls me, I call him. It's a short conversation and I did my duty. As with my mother, by the time I grew up, I really didn't have feelings toward either of these people - I was just used to taking care of myself.

i dont think it is the same with all of them..
i mean christie brinkley is a 5 stellium aqua, with sun and moon and venus juptier merc ect
and she has been divorced a couple times and not married anyone...single for a long time and she's a mother.
it does not seem she is interested in a partner and she had problems with one before.
it sounds too that your mother chose ur father more than u and the rest of the children, thats what i get from this post and it made u hurt alot.

Posted by MyStarsShineIt is interesting and I appreciate your feelings thank you - and yes, I have always envied those who have had good relationships with their parents. We were sheltered and fed well enough and that is something in these days and times. We had toys. It was the lack of interest, support, encouragement, etc. that I missed. It was the verbal, emotional and physical abuse from my cray cray mother that I never missed. It was the coldness and strangeness from my father that I never missed. But I made it ok and I was able to turn that around and love and raise my son into a great man. My son is a strong Leo Sun, Venus, Mercury and Rising - an Aqua Moon and Mars in Gemini – he is super smart but super chilled at the same time – everyone loves him so much because he has such a good spirit. I raised one son on my own in life and now have 3 beautiful grandsons that look like their father - so now I have 4 boys. And for all of that I am still thankful.Posted by tctaaPosted by MyStarsShinePosted by tctaaPosted by MyStarsShinePosted by tctaaPosted by MyStarsShinePosted by tctaaPosted by coldwateryvirgo

God bless all of you that didn't receive the love you deserved....I want to give you all a big (((hug)))
😪
It is interesting and I appreciate your feelings thank you - and yes, I have always envied those who have had good relationships with their parents. We were sheltered and fed well enough and that is something in these days and times. We had toys. It was the lack of interest, support, encouragement, etc. that I missed. It was the verbal, emotional and physical abuse from my cray cray mother that I never missed. It was the coldness and strangeness from my father that I never missed. But I made it ok and I was able to turn that around and love and raise my son into a great man. My son is a strong Leo Sun, Venus, Mercury and Rising - an Aqua Moon and Mars in Gemini – he is super smart but super chilled at the same time – everyone loves him so much because he has such a good spirit. I raised one son on my own in life and now have 3 beautiful grandsons that look like their father - so now I have 4 boys. And for all of that I am still thankful.

Posted by HippeeGemIt's one of the most humble things a parent can do to admit they're in the wrong. My mother never did....so I get where you're coming from. Imagine not being able to admit you aren't perfect....Jfc
I don’t want to get into the reasons but it’s been a little bit difficult. Very involved yet very distant and doesn’t seem to care. Like will show others and brag about our acheievements but can’t just say, I’m proud of you directly. My sisters and I all feel the same. It’s weird, but she’s my Mom and I take care of her. Her health is not good so I feel bad even saying anything negative about her. She does her best. And actually, I can still always talk to her and she’ll listen and give me good advice. Will she ever admit she’s wrong? No. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a genuine apology out of her mouth. But I know she feels sorry sometimes. She’s very distant, but t I know family is everything to her.
Posted by WittyGem88v2i wonder if it's because of the fixedity..they are either very good or very bad,
Omg. And here I am dating aqua men. I dow onder about that as I got an aqua aunt who loves her hubby more than her kids. Another aqua aunt didnt have kids at all coz she didnt want to have her time split between her leo hubby and her.
BUT, my aqua ex is a good dad but not a good husband which is why he got separated. He was also always drunk. But i think he is a good person. The drinking was either because he is a stressed aqua or because he is British. I cant tell. And another Aqua aunt who is a single mum, she loves her son more than anything. Worked hard to give her son a good life. She wasnt always around tho because she had to work.

i wonder if it's because of the fixedity..they are either very good or very bad,
and the can only handle being a good parent or good wife/husband?
unless highly mutable...lol
highly cardinal....controlling. lmao
i'm highly mutable...and i think sometimes i'm chaotic and all over the place.
my husband really likes that though. and my son enjoys my company alot. click to expand
I dunno. I kinda dont want to blame it on the sign. But then i am biased because aquas around me didnt show signs or extreme signs of negative traits. I havent met an abusive one yet and i dont wish to meet any. It will make me sad.... click to expandclick to expand

Posted by WittyGem88v2i'm earthy too though, so i'm grounded as well. but i think it comes out more that i am scheduled and have responsibility. and i can easily commit. if i say i'm gonna do something i do it. i dont like to say i'm gonna do something and then dont follow through. that's something i cant and won't do. If i know i wont do it and have doubts i wont even commit to it.Posted by lisabethur8Posted by WittyGem88v2Posted by lisabethur8Posted by WittyGem88v2

Im curious about gemini parents because well, geminis are mutable and we cant be tied down so i wonder how we provide stability to our kids or if we actually can. Do we stay in one city for too long? Do we travel a lot as a family? Are we chaotic in the home? Are our bills paid on time? Lol its been lurking in my head for a while. My scorp mum was very good at keeping us grounded despite moving from one city to another coz she controlled everything and made sure we are ok (thats even if we dont see eye to eye all the time. We fight a lot believe me lol). Shes very hard to match. click to expandclick to expand

My personal opinion from experience = not good
Aqua mom or dad I’ve seen seems to love significant other or the opposite sex , more than their kids ,
As if those relationship are more fulfilling to them than raising children
But that’s just my experience, what was yours
