-- Posted by The Last Magister at 12:24 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 I'd have to say having one walk out is worse, at least when one dies you can assume they thought the best of you and loved you, but when they walk out it's just like, "Well that says plenty about me." I dunno, I haven't had one die, so I can't say I know the other side. -- Posted by MystiqueBeauty16 at 12:24 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Well I know it hurt when my Dad walked out on us, but I imagine it'd be worse if he had died, do 2nd choice. -- Posted by scarecrow41 at 12:25 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 i think havin one walk out is worse mine put me away -- Posted by Ska Ninja at 12:25 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 If they die you can never see them again -- Posted by porcelain cinderella at 12:26 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 If they die at least you can hope they're in a better place. If they walk out you spend a lot of time pissed at them and some of it wondering if they're still alive. Having them walk out sounds like a lot more to handle. But I haven't had either happen so I don't really know. -- Posted by Clara Bell at 12:26 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 I haven't seen my dad since I was 5. So basically, he's dead to me. -- Posted by glowinthedark at 12:26 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 One of my family's best friend's mothers just past away. We're going to have Christmas, than bury her on the 26th. -- Posted by Aerie at 12:26 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Walk out is worse, far far worse. -- Posted by Points at 12:26 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from Ska Ninja at 8:25 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 If they die you can never see them again Yeah... If they walk out at least there's a chance of seeing them again. -- Posted by pindalay at 12:27 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 My dad died and it was, to date, the worst, hardest experience of my entire life. I had to get medicated for depression and it's fucked me up on and off for the past few years. -- Posted by Aphrodite54 at 12:27 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Having a parent die. If they walk out on you, they were the idiot. When they die, it's done, kaput, you're never seeing them again. 54 -- Posted by DemonicRainbows at 12:27 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 If they died -- Posted by GoodFairy13 at 12:27 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Die easily. -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 12:27 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 I know both my parents would never walk out on me. If they did then it would hurt but I love them both so much I would be happy knowing that they were makign life better for themselves. If one of them died it would be so much worse. -- Posted by Stellar at 12:28 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Death is irreversible. -- Posted by Natsy at 12:28 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 walk out is definitely worse xx -- Posted by Tex the drummer at 12:29 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 i been through both, and never even being clamed by the father is worse. not for the short term but for the long term -- Posted by heather morghan at 12:29 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Walking out is worse in my opinion. My mom walked out on me, my dad, and my older brother for about 7-8 years, even though she came back, I didnt forgive her, and I still dont. Atleast when they die, you know that they cared about you(in most cases) when they walk out, their being selfish, not caring about you. -- Posted by amiee at 1:47 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 If either of my parents died I would absolutely fall apart and I'm not so sure I'd be able to put myself back together. I've had my dad walk out on me multiple times, but I know he loves me. If they walked away I'd manage, because they'd still be alive. Living and breathing somewhere. To have them simply not exist at all is one of my biggest fears, the very thought of it sets me off. -- Posted by miNx at 2:04 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 Quote: from porcelain cinderella at 4:26 am on Dec. 24, 2008 If they die at least you can hope they're in a better place.

When they die, you knew them well and miss them.
