verbally abusive older parents

How do you honour a parent that is abusive that you only can have superficial or low contact with, or none? You can still be nice, not say anything back that is evil, you CAN hold them accountable as that is about saving their soul, it can all be done nice way. You might still call or you might put boundaries down when the **** show starts. You try to shift the focus. But you do not accept abuse and you say that. You can send cards and gifts. You get the idea. It does not mean you are mean to them when you protect your health. But many think black and white, but the reality is not.
 
And for those who think, it is not that bad, and that only physical abuse when extreme is okay, think again do your own research and google emotional abuse, mental abuse, spiritual abuse, sexual abuse, financial abuse and psychological abuse all just as detrimental to health, and you can actually develop health issues.
 
God doesn`t want anyone to get abused for years to the point of danger to health, it is better to separate.

Is that the gospel according to Hanna. You know better than Jesus, Paul and OT prophets?

Please quote more scripture and less opinion. You are a Christian right? You do believe the bible is the word of God right?
 
It is not black and white, when someones health is on the line they are allowed to take precautions.
no matter if you are the parent or something else, it does not give you the right to abuse another. The bible tells us how to treat one another. If someone is behaving maliciously, the bible says come out of them.
