Hello everyone,
So yes as the title says. Is not respecting your mother or father immoral in your opinion? Does it depend on the parent? Or do parents deserve a level of respect automatically? How would you describe the respect level you have to your parents?
Now I would say the overall level of respect I have towards my parents is very low.
My Father: The respect is non existent. He has just never been there in my life, missed out on my childhood. I can say I have no respect for him really honestly.
My Mother: Some respect although not tons. I have a degree of respect for her since she did raise me, he has fulfilled her role as a mother in the sense that she made sure I had 3 meals a day, clean clothes etc. However, emotionally she has really lacked over the years. She was aggressive, had many emotional outburts which really affected me, would make nasty remarks towards me, and at times I was her punchbag (emotionally not physically). Her attitude and how she emotionally treated me over the years really has affected me growing up, but she will never admit to it. So from this I can conclude that I don't have that much respect for my Mother.
In your opinion are my feelings justified or not? How would you describe your level of respect to your parents, and why?
Thanks guys!
