So, for the fact your parents brought you into the world, have
a little respect and forgiveness. If they did a good job, then tell
them. If you love them (and there is nothing that says you
have to), then tell them. And if they were appalling at parent-
ing, then forgive them and move on.
As offspring, you do have a duty to be respectful. You have a
responsibility to treat your parents kindly and be more than
they are by being forgiving and nonjudgmental. You can rise
above your upbringing.
HEY, THERE ARE LOTS OF
AREAS IN ALL OUR LIVES
WHERE WE AREN’T VERY
EFFICIENT OR SKILLED OR
EVEN ENTHUSIASTIC.
