Hey ya'll. I have been thinking about this for the better part of my life. I don't know how to honor my mother and I am afraid I don't care to...
She is the sourse of the pain, shame, and dissapointment in my life. After dehumanizing and the verbal abuse(which always scars worst then beating) she reminds me "that nothing good is going to come to you because you don't respect me." I do respect her but I hate the way she treats me. I don't think I deserve it. I no longer respect her as my mother.
What does one do in this situation and still be pleasing to God. Or even worse what if you have a mother that was on today's Oprah show. Do you still keep your distance. I heard a preacher once say "He thinks it's ridiculous when her hears that people don't speak to the parents." And I once told a "christian" "friend" about the abuse, that is what it is...abuse!, she told me "but, that's your mother." So becuase she is my mother. I have to stick around and be miserable and hurt everyday because she is my mother.
Let's discuss. What does it mean to honor thy mother and father, especially when you have unhealthy relationships with them.
Any scriptures and so on would be appreciated.
