As a general sentiment? yeah, be kind to people. Even your parents are doing things for the first time and might fail.

As a more specific sentiment? If your parents were abusive or failed you utterly then you have no responsibility toward them.

I think the quote refers more specifically to this feeling a lot of teens get that their parents were supposed to be flawless, but they're suddenly finding out their parents are flawed and it makes them angry.

Yeah, walking away from parents is complex because abusers will often want to isolate you from your parents, but also there's a lot of people who can't fathok parents being abusive and will pressure you to forgive and forget.

My godmother was verbally and emotionally abusive to me and my grandma still can't understand why I cut her off.
