Musar zu Wajikra 19:3

אִ֣ישׁ אִמּ֤וֹ וְאָבִיו֙ תִּירָ֔אוּ וְאֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַ֖י תִּשְׁמֹ֑רוּ אֲנִ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃

Jeder fürchte seine Mutter und seinen Vater, und meine Schabbatot beobachtet. Ich bin der Herr, euer Gott.

Shenei Luchot HaBerit

Commandment 213 legislates that one must respect mother and father, since the Torah says: איש אמו ואביו תיראו.

Shaarei Teshuvah

And [there is also a curse] about the nullification of the fear of the father and the mother, which is a positive commandment - as it is stated (Deuteronomy 27:16), “Cursed be he who belittles his father or mother.” The content of belittling is to disparage their honor and abrogate fearing them. As our Rabbis, may their memory be blessed, said (Kiddushin 31b), ‘A man must fear his mother and father’ (Leviticus 19:3) - what is fear of the father? Not to sit in his place, not to contradict his words or determine [an argument] for him.
