Wow this is a late response.

But no, it's true. Was just reading about how today children have no respect for their parents and it's a cultural problem: versus cultures that emphasize filial piety. Or how ever denying a child anything is considered abuse these days because we're such wimps, etc, etc. I can absolutely see how all of these trends have played in my life, especially as I got older. No, I don't have any respect or sense of duty towards my mother. Otherwise, I would still be living with her and allowing her to run my life, like a respectful child. I would be doing everything she says instead of begging her for no contact. I have no right to want no contact; she didn't do anything to me and I don't deserve boundaries.

Interesting no one's given me any kind of advice as per the title: punishing my entitlement.
