Respect is earned or given not demanded or enforced. You decide to have unprotected sex and bring kids into this world. You wanted to have children so you got to raise them. Why do you expect a thank you for your choice and its consequences? What choice they had in their existence or upbringing.

If they love and respect you, you taught them well. If they don't, its still on parents.

I would think some parents loved their children and were still abused by them. I think some parents are blinded by their love for them and therefore are in denial and unable to enforce boundaries.

There would only be a thousand reasons why adult children are abusive. I do not always think they parents brought it on.

When I witnessed a sibling mocking my mother, I was not impressed and did not think my mother earned the abuse.

"I suspect that therapists cause more problems than they solve."

We need details to back up your statement. I do know that some therapists are cunning and spiteful and can pretend to be your friend just like someone
out on the street. I do know they've done a lot of damage.

I would think twice about it because I would then be written up in their books and they would be wondering what I did to cause my adult child to commit a crime.

On the other side of things, if they were violent with me or the other living beings in my house, I might have to.
