"... don't fight with them ... choose to respect them instead of fight with them ... you can do it if you set your mind to it ..."
even if there was emotional and physical (just a little bit not fatally) abuse going on? I also did the same.
One time during our many arguements it got that far.

converse, don't argue. Follow rules. Do chores without having to be asked.

oh boy i could write a book on it i know exactly what you mean. here are a few of my techiques
when they yell..shut up shut up. THEN say i can tell you're upset.
let's TALK about it
when they so mean things like.. you're ugly you're dumb whatever. just say I'm sorry you feel that way. then SHUT UP
if you are in the wrong (and i hate being wrong) acknowlegde it.
like if you forget to take out the trash and they are really pizzed
say i;m sorry i forgot. i'll rember next time. No matter what they say back. repeat what u just said and SAY IT OVER & OVERsay nothing else
above all, don't lose your cool. (i had to really practice this.)
if they swear @ u ignoe it or say. i'm understand what you're saying, but i'm not a ____ .say nothing else
OR say i've cuss u in the past but that was wrong. Please don't cuss me
good luck dude & don't let them stress u
.

For one thing, never ever hold a grudge. Never argue with them. Instead do nice things for them, like send them a card, bring them flowers or just say I love you and hug them. Sometimes people get crabby when they get older but just ignore that and give them a big hug and kiss instead of fighting back. After awhile, it will get easier to ignore and who knows, things may change.

respect them, hang around them and dont try to start an argument. do as they say even if it sounds stupid, do everything right so they wont get mad at you, take out the trash and try to be the perfect kids or them then they wont have anything bad to say or evn get mad at you. good luck.
