Respect.

I know we are taught to respect our parents. But it comes to a certain point/age when our we ought to be respected back.

It is very hard and disappointing to watch an adult throw temper tantrums and curse at you.

It is very hard to respect another adult who has never once shown you an inkling of respect, has never had the ability to say, “I was wrong”, had never, ever said, “I’m sorry.”

It may work for some. I understand how difficult it may be for some parents to view their children as adults after watching them grow up…..but shit man.

It’s one thing for me to repeatedly try and keep my cool over, and over again. To call back over and over again, and try to talk things out. And be disregarded, yet again. And then when I finally blow up, the parent starts acting like an adult again. Oh I see. When I was keeping my cool, you couldn’t handle that adult shit. But when I lose my patience, that’s what you’re familiar with?

And after everything, will never try to make to effort to listen?
