Not very likely. It's smarter to just ignore it and try not to let it get to you. Because you know what? They probably don't feel bad about it. Yet it's hurting you inside. You should probably just let it go.

getting even is never a good idea, with parents or not. it does nothing but make you stoop to their level of whatever they put you through. Plus, the past is in the past and no matter what you do to try and gratify that, the past won't change. I would suggest talking to a counselor or approaching your parents to ask them why the treated you in such a way. Hearing it from their perspective might change the way you see it also.

If you happen to be a sociopath this would be completely ethical
and if you were raised poorly enough-- you could be a sociopath --and THAT would be a self-fulfilling thing--- huh ?
But-- I've got to point out here---all of that is truly with No excuse under the law---you just simply will be without any legal standings at all in these matters !!

Depends on what they did. They are your parents, and you should respect them. It doesn't mean you have to like them, or even be around them, But I still think you should be mature and not fight fire with fire. How bout you be mature, and create your own life, and not be immature about things. I could argue my father did the worst thing to a child you could possibly do to a daughter, but I didn't get even, and I didn't do anything irrational. I simply told him I knew what he did, and how it hurt me, and I left it at that. And this is one of those things you could argue would be ok to get back at him for. But I don't. What's done is done, and there's not reason to start things for a past reason.

That depends upon your beliefs. My ethics are set by The Bible, which state that revenge is wrong. I also personally feel that revenge is never the correct action. Forgiving is the harder thing to do but it has a healing effect.

No. Jewish Law requires one to always honor their parents. Even if they did a terrible job, they deserve some element of respect for all of their work. Respect of elders is one of the basic foundations of a working society.
Note that Respecting parents doesn't necessarily mean you have to obey their every wish. But your approach must be one of respect. Otherwise, the fabric of society is torn apart.

It depends. Is the other choice, that you be just as bad to your kids? Then I would rather you have your revenge than taking it out on your babies and perpetuating the evil into yet another generation.

I would never sink to their level sorry. I believe that they will get theirs later. Its called Karma! I think my dad growing old and alone without knowing his grandchildren is very good punishment.

revenge is so sweet. but don't actually "get back" at them or commit any crimes. just abandon them in their own time of need. they f'd you over, so you don't owe them anything. sounds like a pretty fair deal to me.
