Narrative Essay About Couple Relationships

Improved Essays
When someone says the word, “Relationship,” I instantly think of a couple dating. Although that is not wrong, there are different types of relationships such as, voluntary vs. involuntary, sexual vs. platonic, romantic vs. nonromantic, male vs. female, and genetically related vs. nonrelated. The type of relationship that resides the most with me is genetically related vs. nonrelated. This particular type of relationship is who you share your genes with separating biological children from adopted or stepchildren. This influences how you might communicate with another person. My mother and father had my brother then me three years later. Before I was one year old, my parents got a divorce. A few years later they were both remarried. My stepmother already had a daughter. My mother and stepfather had a baby boy. My stepfather passed away a couple years after that and my mom later got remarried again. My new stepfather brought along two more boys.

Thankfully, both my stepfathers acted towards me and my siblings as we were their own. My first step father did not have any kids of his own yet. He welcomed us in to his home with open arms. He never once acted like we were a burden to his time. I had a wonderful relationship with this man. I saw him more as a father figure than my own. Even once he and my mother had my little brother, he never replaced us with him. My stepfather found out a couple years after my little brother was born that he had cancer. Within a year, he passed away from this horrible sickness. After several years my mother got remarried again. My second stepfather also welcomed us into his family with no hesitation. He is the type of man who will give you his right arm. He puts all his children’s lives before his. If you needed anything at all, he would stop what he was doing at the drop of a hate to come and help

    The sad part about it all is that I really can’t speak on my father’s side of the family that much because he hasn’t been in my life for over 15 years. I have no relationship with him whatsoever because I gave him a number a chances to be in my life and he never took advantage of that opportunity. Although, I would have liked for him to see me grow up and became the young man I am today he has shown me on numerous occasions that he didn’t see potential in me or my other seven siblings he’d abandoned, some of them I still have yet to meet. I don’t think anyone will ever feel my pain of not having a father figure in their life as much as I had to. No male role model, no guidance just a single mother doing the best she can for her children with no handouts.…

    My “aunt’ Penny and “uncle” Bud were closer aunt and uncle to me than anyone. My two “adopted” moms, Mici and Christina, didn’t affect me anywhere near as much as my mother, but they were there for me when I needed them and I did learn things from them. My “adopted” siblings Justin, Jacob, and Woody were as much (if not better) brothers as I imagine any blood brother could be. My other “adopted” brother, Shawn, is actually my step-cousin, but my mom and stepdad raised him so he was basically my brother as well.…

    Human social relationships all have one thing in common: the essential ability to form attachments. In order to form these attachments, the human body experiences seemingly miniscule yet significant changes on both a psychological level and a physical level. Two key factors that play into the biological level of close social attachment in humans, and in animals- specifically rats- is the role of the neuropeptides oxytocin (OXT) and arginine vasopressin (AVP). The close attachment one feels when entering a close social relationship is based on the biological neural and chemical components that trigger these feelings we have on a psychological level. Interestingly enough rats experience this phenomenon as well.…
