I think my relationship with my parents has been discolored because I haven't taken them seriously since about the 7th grade. I realized they don't know what they're doing all the time, and I realized they weren't perfect. I treat them as I treat my friends now. This causes me to treat them well & with respect in general, but when they wish to be controlling, it's hard to take them seriously.

I disagree. You can easily recognize someone else as a person and still disagree with them over fundamental issues. I simply fail to take my parents seriously at times. I feel as if most people put up a facade when communicating (in person, anyway). When I feel as if someone isn't being open, I become flippant.
