This is a great question. My mother passed away in June of last year. She was my best friend and I miss her terribly. There are things I think about now in which I wish I wouldn't have done or said something. However, it brought us to the best friend point of our mother daughter relationship. She was always there for me in my rebellious teenage years and never gave up on me. She never let me down. I have disappointed her a few times but I don't think she ever looked at it as being let down. So my adult years, yes, I have honored her and I still find myself asking myself what she would do or want me to do in decisions I need to make about my life. I thank God we had such a good relationship. I will keep honoring her till I meet her again.

Sadly ... my siblings and I buried our parents as young adults ... and we were all on Active Duty with the Military at the time.
They never did see all the hard work we did, all the duty stations that we were assigned to, the way we achieved our UGrad and Grad Degrees, worked our way through the ranks, and one by one ... are Retired from the Military, and continue to expand our horizons ....
They would have been proud of each of us. We all survived disasters of first marriages (all took place within 1.5 years of our parent's deaths), and we raised our children on our own.
Unfortunately, the next generation is mixed results -- some have chosen to HONOR us by working hard, getting their educations, and respecting us .... while others have chosen wrongly and disrespect us. We know that we did our best, but when the children become adults ... they MUST make their own choices in life, and that they also MUST face the Consequences.

Yes, all the things I do and the achievements I have are for their honor because they deserve them. They have let me down at some point while I was growing up but thinking about all the sacrifices they had made to get me where I am now makes all the let down seem insignificant. As for me, I suppose I have never let them down (speaking for myself though...) because I have always been how they wanted me, straight A student, scholar, respectful daughter, good friend, (hopefully too...hahahaha) good wife and mom. I have always been very obedient. So I will have to say yes, I did not let them down.

I think I've done my best to honor my parents since I've been an adult, even though they have each let me down in different ways.
I'm with the old school that says it is right to honor our parents no matter what. In the long run, I believe that doing so makes our lives more positive and fulfilling.

Your difficulty sounds reminiscent of mine. My sister is exceptionally sensible.. continuously interpreting and he or she receives strong grades. She needs to me a healthcare specialist too. Me on the different hand.. no longer so strong and that i'm older than her as well which will properly be worse in a experience. you should attempt to be on your mothers and fathers strong area and attempt your maximum acceptable. Your mothers and fathers of direction do not imagine you're a burden to them. search for suggestion from them.. letting out your emotions can help.

My Mom left me, my sister & brother with an aunt & went to be with a man she later married.
We were very young...I was 4. Anyway, for the next 10 years my sis & I were in a children's home..read orphanage, My brother (2 at the time was there for 13 yrs). Finally reunited with my Mom at age 16. she had just married again (wonderful man). Within 2 yrs. I married an A.F. man & moved to England & traveled all over the world for 20 yrs. !8 mo. ago, Being alone now, I moved back to take care of her & my Step-dad. They are both 85 yrs. old & she is very sick. While it is very trying at times, I will always take care of them & honer them to the best of my abilities. My Mom was very young when it all started & young people make many dumb mistakes which they regret for the rest of their lives. I cannot abondon her now.

Yes I actually honored both of my parents. I honored my father while he was here. I called him, visited him, cleaned his apartment, ran errands for him, tooK him in when he was not feeling well, and sat with him during his times in the hospital. My dad died 10-13-06, and I miss him everyday. My dad was not the best Dad, but towards the end I saw that he was trying. As for my mother, she lives with me and my husband. I take care of her and make sure she is ok. So to answer your question, yes, I do honor my parents by caring for them.

My wife and I were not lucky. We BOTH had/have (hers are still alive) parents "from hell."
My parents, specifically my mother, was angry, depressed, and crazy. She did mind games with me all the time.
I find my father in the wrong for never saying or stopping my mother from doing her awful things.
My wife's parents are still alive. Still causing mind games to her and her sister. They physically abused both of them when my wife and her sister were younger. In their case, it is the father. He is an egotistically loud mouth tyrant that only thinks of himself. The mother is a yes person and does what ever he says.
Both sides of the family, parents had favorites. My side it is my step sister. My wife's side, it is their brother. Both sides, the child of choice could do no wrong, while everyone else can do nothing right.

My mom died almost 3 years ago. It was completely unexecpected. The last time I saw her, I hugged her and said 'I love you'. That was the day before her passing, and I thank God everyday for that oppurtunity. I know that I disappointed her in many ways throughout the years. I devastatingly disappointed her (high school drop out, teen mom, drug & alcohol abuse etc.). Luckily, I got my life together before her passing and she was able to know the daughter she raised. Tell someone you love them today,... tomorrow doesn't always come.
