The trouble is a vast amount of humanity worship just such a parent.
However if you were married to such a person you would very likely lose contact with your friends and family.
You would be advised to end the marriage by concerned family and friends. They would fear for your life.
Yet every Sunday those same people would gather with others an worship an imaginary deity which has, according to the stories they tell each other, done all of the things mentioned and worse.
And they will tell you that it is a good thing they do. smh.
