Until a child is an adult, they must obey their parents.

When they are an adult, they must take into consideration their parents wishes, and give an ear to their counsel.

You must value your parents your whole life, until you die, even after they are dead.

Above all you should honor their name, never speak evil of them or detract from their good name. You should hold them in high regard and respect them, even if they sin and do evil.

Parents are given authority by God to raise children and guide them their whole lives, and children must be good children and care for their parents when they are older.

I honestly think you do just fine on your own : It isn’t the first time I’ve gotten a smile out of one of your posts. Although, this would seem perhaps an opportune moment to focus on a salient point relating to our OP’s situation ; in a word, autonomy.

Sometimes people who care about us can smother us and not realize they are restricting our autonomy . . . which is expressed in our power to make our own decisions.

A bit of humour from a quote usually attributed to Mark Twain, but to him quite possibly while he was inhabiting a novelistic persona :
“When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.”
