You missed the important part in that quote. "but _some_ are holy and must be salvaged at any cost" My relationship with my mother is part of that "some" for me. For others it may be someone else, but I didn't say everyone needs to salvage relationships with their parents at all, I shared my personal experience. Hopefully everyone has a relationship worth saving. Find that and fight for it, because a good relationship is worth any cost, up to including your life (eg. relationship with your child). I'm not an expert but does your way of thinking about this not map to Cluster-B personality types?
