"if they are willing" are the important words here. I think that when one has told a parent time after time after time, that one doesn't like to be treated this or that way, it is wise to give up the hope about change (since they continues the same way) and work on how to cope with them the way they are. That gives more peace in the soul.
Everybody can change if they want too ...
