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.
