Respecting our parents is something that should be done, in
normal circumstances, in every culture. Of course if the parent, or parents,
are extremely dysfunctional in some way it is really difficult to respect them.
This happens if their actions are evil towards us and we are ashamed of them or
even dislike them. This also happens if the parent has some serious psychiatric
disorder, and all we can do is feel sorrow and frustration towards them. In the
normal situation, however, we should respect our parents.
