[quote=Anonymous]There's a backstory we're not getting here. OP, are you telling us everything we need to know? I'm 64 and yes I think people should show respect to the elderly but also the elderly - that is, us! - need to show respect to others, regardless of age. Are you showing that respect or are you using old age as an excuse not to listen to the concerns of members of your family? On the other hand, are the members of your family walking all over you because you have a hard time setting limits and speaking up for yourself? In that case, I would suggest working with a therapist in order to learn how to make your needs explicit and speak up. That's another case where you won't get respect just because you're old. You have to set limits with folks. Good luck, OP - I hope whatever is going on that you make some progress in winning the respect you want.[/quote]
