Parents and children, and full sibling. That's it.

My children


Over my lifetime, I have had two friends who totally got me. Life circumstances have separated us and with one, we try to get together at least once a year. The other, we just grew apart. BOth started as co-workers. I was very close to my parents when they were alive, but they were not really confidants.

Mother
Sister
Friend from childhood
Friend I met when our daughters went to the same preschool (they are now 15!)
Former coworker I met at my very first post college job (1992)

Husband
Child
Friend from my childhood
Friend I made when I was an adult
Mother-in-law

Wish I could say my sibling and my parents, but I can't.

S/o, what about in your entire lifetime? Who have you've experienced the closest bonds with?

I thought relations was a synonym for relatives. Are you asking for the closest relationships?

Mine would be

My son
My mother
BFF/College Roommate/godmother of my child/mother of my godchild (this is all one person)
Good friend, with kids of a similar age.
My brother

At one point my grandmother and father would have been on the list, and I have other friends who would have made the list at one point or another.

My husband
My children
My parents
My sisters and brothers
My in-laws

A few years ago this would have included my grandmothers. Both died in 2014.

Wish I could say mom but that's just not true.
No siblings.

siblings/parents/spouse/kids are easily the top 10! then a couple of friends from waybackwhen that i rarely sees but i love, an old friend of my parents who i love like family, and a couple of college and law school buddies that i adore. i like my coworkers a lot, but we're not best buds.

I have some surprisingly deep conversations with some of my coworkers (law firm) but we rarely talk outside of work.

Sibling
14 yr old
Friend/neighbor (was a friend first)
Online friend I've never met in person
