It doesn’t say do not cleave to your parents.
It says cleave to your wife.
And it was actually Jesus speaking in the third person

It was talking about a very specific principle…which is when a man (or woman) would put their family of origin over their spouse.
There is a different order in modern times. One is to respect and treat parents with respect so long as they are not dangerous. For instance, if you are an adult living far from home and working, and your parents insist on calling you at work and jeopardize your job. You are not required to take such calls and “be available” even if your parents demand it.

Considering that in the time that passage was written, people lived in large extended family groups, it leaves us coming up with random interpretations.
In 1st Century Hebrew culture, when a woman married she moved into the household of her inlaws. Now, this home might consist of various tents or rooms, but, the bride was in a lesser position of authority than her MIL and the other older women in the household. There was an established “pecking order”. While modern minds want to see this verse as a command to move out of parents home and pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, that may be more American modernism than the actual meaning of the verse.
Haydock explained Genesis 2:24 not about living arrangements or obedience but as: "Ver. 24. One flesh, connected by the closest ties of union, producing children, the blood of both. St. Paul, Ephesians v. 23, discloses to us the mystery of Christ’s union with his church for ever, prefigured by this indissoluble marriage of our first parents. (Calmet)"
