As a post cursor argument to my other post , does it become a sin to disown/get disowned by my parents? Should I be reaching out to them, or should I simply stop and let it go? The bible does say to respect the parents, but it also says the parents should respect the kids or they shall be forsaken by them. So now I'm kinda curious how this works

To a degree yes, but it is not one of the ten commandments (which is more liable to be violated and more egregious).

Saying that they'll be forsaken by them is just stating a fact, not giving permission.

If you really want the truth on this, research what the puritans and reformers said about it in the 1600s.
