In the Qur'an we are supposed to respect and care after our parents into their old age and death in the same way they cared for us when we were babies / kids / teenagers / adults. [17:23-24](https://quran.com/17/23-24) says:
> [23.](https://quran.com/17/23) Thy Lord hath decreed
That ye worship hone but Him,
And that ye be kind
To parents. Whether one
Or both of them attain
Old age in thy life,
Say not to them a word
Of contempt, nor repel them,
But address them
In terms of honour.
> [24.](https://quran.com/17/24) And, out of kindness,
Lower to them the wing
Of humility, and say:
"My Lord! bestow on them
Thy Mercy even as they
Cherished me in childhood.
What if one or both (sexually) abused you or something similar. Is their care and respect and love still due?
