As you probably know, guilt is most worthless commodity available as well as a negative motivator. That double whammy should help you see the reality of your situation with a formulated new perception--the Steve Hofstter Midrash on Torah. I abhor the idea of paying to pray, and have foucsed much of my observances in my home. I love God and God loves me. He wants me to be as observant as I can, but not to the extent that I cannot decipler between the right choices and the best choices. I love the old Yiddish proverv that said, "Don't take no bull shit." For your sitution, I would state it like this: "Honor thy father and thy mother, and don't take no bull shit from anybody."
