I am not going to excuse it, but I do know that if you let this tear apart you and your parents relationship, you will regret it eventually. Or, worse yet, they will. Try to see why and it is easier to accept the what.


I agree with Rhabbi, parents raise their kids, care for them, fix their little cuts and scrapes. And while they sometimes do stuff that is embarrasing and sometimes downright infuriating, remember that in your childhood, like every other child, you may have cause troubles for them keeping them up at nights, etc. So if this collar is really bugging your father, there is no real need to wear it around them if you are just visiting them. I know it has a substantial meaning in your relationship, but it's not worth any bad feelings between you and your father.
