[QUOTE="alank2, post: 3181158, member: 108"] Parents can be tough. Being a parent can be tough. I often think about NASB - Colossians 3:21 - Fathers, do not exasperate your children, so that they will not lose heart. Some other translations say "do not embitter". As a parent you have to think about those words that come out of your mouth - they can do huge good or they can do huge bad. In the end, sometimes with parents, all you are left with is trying to honor them only to the extent that their difficulty allows you to. That might be very minimal depending the situation. It is easier said that done, but sometimes you have to utterly reject the teaching and opinion of your own parents - when you know they are in the wrong. It is hard not to internalize things like this, but it really is their failure. [/QUOTE]
