The bible says to honour your father and mother
The way I understand this verse is, you should honour your parents when they act like your parents and rebuke them like devils when they act like devils
Also you should guard them when they honour God and withhold your love when they disrespect God
You should praise them when their behaviour is good and criticize them and gossip about them when they unjustly criticize and gossip about you, or when they threaten or vilify your connection with God or when they threaten the God you worship and serve
I do not believe you should honour a parent that does not act like a parent because doing so could harm your relationship with God and your moral boundaries
