i think it's a sad fact of life. many a time, we can't understand our parents, and they can't understand us too. it's quite a tragedy, i duno. no matter how effective ur communication is, not only wif parents, wif anybody, we cannot fully understand.

BUT. it doesn't mean, we can't stop believing them, trusting and loving them. there is a fine line between understand and the faith in them.

let me giv a sort of abstract example. religion. why do you believe in a god/gods? do you fully understand him? do u understand why buddha did wad he did and taught wad he taught? there are some reasons, yes, but u will never fully get to know him. even if you do, u may not understand or rationalise wif his philosophies. on the same note, we may not understand why in christianity jesus was sent to die, and the doctrine of the holy trinity, and why would god kill people who do not believe him even though people were made in his image.

contrast over to ur parents. do you understand why they let u do certain things or live vicariously through you? do you understand that in fact, they have their own insecurities. we may not fully understand and see it from their perspective. but does that mean, since it is liddat, i don't have to trust my parents? and go on to hate and doubt them?

the bond between parent and child i would guess will be based strongly on a certain emotional connection. as much as we may be unhappy wif our parents, will we eventually hate them enough to truly disown/dishonour/disacknowledge them? i dun think so.
