Romans 8 31-32

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

What's it like to have to walk on eggshells and be on your best behaviour around a parent at all times, to approach everything as a political negotiation depending on the mood of the parent? To always have to be very polite and to live with emotional bullying?
