    “talking back” is really just an oddly specific way of saying “answering”, generally to acknowledge or ask further clarifying questions.

    OP sounds like my parents, anything I say is talking back. They like to talk at people rather than to people.

      I recall being backhanded just trying to discuss a difference of opinion. I don’t recall the conversation from 30 years ago, only that my opinion was not wanted.

        I read somewhere that emotions create stronger neuronal connections than information. Your emotion of rejection is valid.
