Hey everyone, today, I feel like discussing something not everyone admits or talks about, and what better platform than Medium, right?

Criticism often surrounds the idea of abandoning parents or the use of old-age homes for the same purpose. Agreed. However, there is another aspect that needs to be addressed too. Some people don’t support these actions yet speak very harshly to their parents. How is that justified?

Well, you know what, even I, the person writing this, am guilty of this! Yes, we all are imperfect, aren’t we?

Sometimes, mood swings or a disagreement with someone puts me in a bad mood. With no one else to confide in, I unintentionally vent my frustration on my parents. Is it acceptable? I apologize, but let’s be clear — IT’S NOT!

A Call for Change

My parents are the ones who shaped me into the person I am today. They genuinely care about my well-being, and in return, I end up hurting them.

I feel like such a terrible child. 💔

I am fortunate to have my parents alive and living with me, yet I find myself disrespecting these…
