What do adults say about their parents? What emotions do daughters and sons have when it comes to their mothers and fathers? What stories do they tell? This book offers personal firsthand thoughts on family situations and histories. Daughters and sons express and explain their connections with their parents from early childhood across the whole life course. They talk about cohesion, ambivalence, conflict and distance. They report love and hate, eternal bonds and painful separations. The statements address both relationships with living parents and past ties to mothers and fathers who have passed away.This is the fourth book of the SwissGen project, a representative survey of intergenerational relations in Switzerland. The analysis volumes offer key findings and examine central generational issues in depth (\"Generationen zwischen Konflikt und Zusammenhalt\" / \"Generations between Conflict and Cohesion\"). The data volume provides general information on the research project and basic quantitative results in form of summarised tables (\"Relations with Parents: Questions and Results\"). The book at hand is the qualitative complement to the analysis volumes. It offers over 1,500 statements of adults in their own words.
