They gave me some bullshit about how “respect goes both ways”

"For us to respect how you want to life your life. You have to respect how we want you to live your life."

This is what they're actually saying, and yes its bullshit. If those are the rules they live by, then you should also be able to tell them how they live their lives, which I'm sure they'd balk at immediately.

"If you don't respect my authority, I won't respect your humanity."

Its worse: Respecting parent's authority prevents recognition of the adult offspring's humanity.
