Sometimes when parents or other people are a pain, we can set out boundaries to keep some space between us and them.... In the case of our parents, we can still show them some respect, for example by acknowledging them at certain, traditional times--like Christmas, birthdays, Mothers/Fathers Day, etc. I think we owe our parents some respect. But we don't have to put up with harmful or difficult behaviour....
Many years ago, I heard "Dr. Laura" Schlessinger on the radio and got some ideas from her.... www.drlaura.com At this point, I don't remember exactly what she said or what was my own idea...? But she gave some helpful input into my life.... [My son used to listen to her sometimes, too.]
