Insecure parents treat adult kids like emotional indentured servants. They don’t feel compelled to earn respect, they feel entitled to it because of all they’ve provided over the years. That’s not a relationship. That’s emotional hostage taking. Do not be blackmailed or cowed.

I dont know. You are the expert. But for the record, I did reread your tweet and did acknowledge you didnt actually suggest abandoning the parents, just not letting them to blackmail you. But I see a lot of advice around the net that explicitly suggests you abandon them.

So I thought it could be generally beneficial to prompt you to unpack it a bit more. :)
