Tell them when they are old and frail you will offer some normal discipline as well.

Agree to disagree and never leave my children in their care.

Hello, Did you want my life story? I spent five years in intensive psychotherapy because of them. It took me nearly 8 months to admit that it had a name and it was 'abuse'. Their responce was, "I bet your shrink is laughing all the way to the bank". After those 5 years I was better and they were still in deniel. They should have offered to pay the bill, but didn't. They should have offered support, but didn't. They should have offered an appology, but didn't. They should have tried to make amends, but didn't. In the end, the mother died last and disowned me publically and in her will. She left every last thing to the older sibling which only confirmed everything I'd always believed. They neither like nor cared for me and no matter what I did or said, I would never be accepted and loved. Mental problems ~ don't they make life interesting!

Get the help I need and allow them to live their lives their way. I would have very little to do with them however. Wait, that is what I did!

I would ask my friends and probably learn that most caring parents discipline their children, which feels like abuse because it causes either emotional or physical pain.
