I think my relationship with my parents has been discolored because I haven't taken them seriously since about the 7th grade.

I realized they don't know what they're doing all the time, and I realized they weren't perfect. I treat them as I treat my friends now. This causes me to treat them well & with respect in general, but when they wish to be controlling, it's hard to take them seriously.
