Agree with you Mimi , if parent abuse their own kid, kids have no obligation to them. My point is that they can do it voluntary at least without coming into picture, behind the scenes.

I know one parent who dont like to meet or see their kid's face just cuz she got pregnant in UK at 18 when she was asked to wait for few more years..

Regardless of what relationship we have with another being, voluntarily we can help one another.
