Huge dilemma when God fearing children (including adult children) realize that their parents are broken or even dangerous. Is living a Life That Brings Honor to their parents, in spite of a corrupted upbringing, a weak way to fulfill the commandment?

Kids like me raised themselves. I am not disrespectful to my parents, but I will never rely on them or trust them for anything. They are babies in adult bodies, it’s all about them.

Wow... did you get me thinking on your question! You know what? I think if a child grows up in a completely dysfunctional household (alcoholism, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, drug abuse, crime etc)... maybe by the child growing up and being the best person/parent they can be... is a way to honor the commandment. That person could bring “honor” into their own home by being function vs dysfunctional. In short, they could value a loving Mother or Dad through themselves and their families. (IMHO, you have great insight, SisterK)
