"Politically incorrect"? Why drag that in? The fact that people are disagreeing with you doesn't mean they are being "politically correct," which is what you are implying. "I'm sorry if I'm being politically incorrect" is one of those phrases that subtly dismiss the disagreer while attempting to claim a veneer of brave truth-telling for one's own thoughts. Just go ahead and engage with what people actually say, and leave the motives out of it.
Anyway. People's interactions with their parents are widely variable, and not really subject to a hard set of rules. I don't know how well you know rm, but she doesn't seem to me to be asking for advice on dealing with her parents: just reporting what's going on, and the difficulty of it for her. I assume there is very likely no position regarding her relationship to her parents that she hasn't already considered at a lot more length than I can for her, and with a lot more information. Maybe that's just me.
