From a Judeo Christian perspective, we are to honor our parents. Period. Even in cases of abuse. It is a hard truth. There is an epidemic in the United States, and ONLY the United States, of adult children dishonoring, disrespecting and emotionally murdering their parents. There is NO excuse. Our society is excusing and creating an entire population of ingrates and wounded elderly persons. Think about it. God put honoring your parents up there with not murdering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, yet our society, and even our churches are making excuses for this particular sin which in the top ten of commandments! Why is that? Why do people make excuses for this? The burden of HONOR is ONLY on children. I also believe this means ADULT children. Small children are to OBEY their parents. Adults are to HONOR. Of course it is going to be more difficult for some than others—but that is life. I personally know several adults who have been horribly abused by their parents and they CHOOSE to HONOR and RESPECT them. They are incredible people!

Of course it is easy to love the loveable—anyone can do that. Children have become spoiled, ungrateful, entitled little brats—and these are the ADULTS that I am talking about!

There is NO excuse to dishonor your parents. NONE. Honor your son and daughter is NOT in the top ten.

As I said, this phenomenon of disowning your parents and dishonoring your parents is epidemic only in The United States. We need to be asking ourselves why.
