This summer, on their visit, they went through a lot of pain coming to terms with exactly such issues as discussed above, until my uncle told my dad that it’s really not his to say what I should do, as I make several times what he made at my age and so the money does the talking.

There was a rather profound silence at this revelation and after that things started falling in place a lot more smoothly and our relationship improved.
