Do you know that abusive parents have abusive children? The Rav Abarbanel on kibud Av says that the children will be respected as parents as they respected their parents. Your children see how you respect your parents and that will be how they respect you. I heard from my father a mashel.
There was a grandfather, father and son. The father fed the grandfather in a wooden plate. thinking that because of his feebless he will break regular china. When the grandfather passed on, the father wanted to get rid of it. The son said to the father, don’t throw it out father because we needed it for you.
