books by Dr. Alice Miller
The Drama of the Gifted Child and other titles (see link). Priority request: she recommends not honouring the fourth commandment blindly, I.e. embracing recognising abuse from one's parents instead of honouring them at all costs. She says attachment to one's abusive parents is not love.

Request: Wanting to hold the Doc in my mind, I am met with a kind of feeling that I "shouldn't" do it. The argument is the existence of Christ... [Still,] a Christian cannot betray Christ... just because he maintains a "different" teacher in his mind. I wonder what is behind this "prohibition".
