    I guess. If your dad didn’t repeatedly beat you and slap you when you were younger for not looking him in the eye. Or if your mom didn’t ruin the clothes she didn’t like that you spent your own money to buy when you were sixteen. If she didn’t steal from you and lie about you to cover her acts.

    When you live your whole life and realize they have never once apologized for any wrong they are every done. You know if they are decent people then they might be worthy of respect. But my shitty parents ran me in to the ground and disapproved of every woman I’ve ever been with. Called my daughter a bastard because she was conceived before I married her mother. So only respect them if they were not a complete waste of oxygen.
