What I've always wondered, is what if someone's parents are evil and abusive? Are they just supposed to take the abuse?

We must realise that the Bible is giving general principles here of life. Obedience to parents is the principle of life as it is parental responsibility of being kind and decent to children. Both are contained within the Bible. Of course God does not expect us to lose our intelligence and believe that children are supposed to obey abusive parents without question as the Bible specifically tells parents not to abuse children. I do wish when people put Bible verses up they would put the whole context@Thatguy33]
@SubstantialKick Too often they have kids of their own and repeat the abuse
