This troubles me because the Christian bible says to honor my parents.
I don't know how to honor them because they are toxic people who I removed from my life after my daughter was born because I refuse to allow them to prey on her.
I don't think I hate them.
I don't think of them much at all.
But I have a duty to protect my family from monsters.

Okay I'll give you my thoughts on this. Honoring your mother and father is like loving them. You love them by telling the truth and care taking their legacy, even if they don't understand your actions or they get angry. You don't honor them by laying a gift at their feet, you fight for their bloodline.

Thank you.
It's difficult because we never bonded.
Even as an infant, I didn't trust either of them and just tried to keep away from them to stay safe.
I've caught myself many times in my youth and even now, referring to my father or my mother as, "her husband" or "his wife". There is no family bond whatsoever.
That's rough. Unfortunately, its also quite common in our broken western families. As our families have been destroyed for generations now, each subsequent generation flailing about trying to maintain, while we are taught more and more destructive values. Our thought mentors for a long time have been on screens and radios, fantastical imaginings of a selfish and money hungry life somehow leading to happiness and stardom.
This broken bond, even between infand and mother is common. Its normal.
Merry Christmas and good luck with your family now. Honor your parents by learning from them, and not letting their mistakes be made in vain. Using them as a jumping point for your children
If you love your life and the things you hold dear, you should honor your parents at least a little bit. Because the fact is, without them you would have nothing, you would not even exist.
people are flawed, its your duty to influence at least your nephews about the dangers of soy-ciety because if the parents are fucking retarded, maybe their children can still be saved.
In that case, "honor" means "don't disrespect." You have an obligation to your daughter (1 Timothy 5:8). When the time comes to talk to your daughter about your parents, tell her the truth without vengeful embellishment. Honor them without misguiding her.

My father is gone mentally and I felt this struggle as well. You will find the strength. God bless you and your family.
You’re the one that’s confused here.
Sometimes your parents might be pieces of shit. Thankfully mine are great people, but sometimes you may just have piece of shit parents.
