Pretty extreme example it is, not so common maybe one or two in a million.
Being in tune & in touch is quiet different. Aged parents have some other needs. The parents who only have one daughter have different view of the world, probably at one time they don’t want to go to limits where a father will go for his son, in terms of building up something.
Few years ago when i gave dad my first pay check i can see tears in his eyes, he was happy as heaven, for parents a grown up son felt like a standing mountain in which they feels secure and it’s same for his sister. Isn’t it ?
Now you can keep disagreeing, but well this is reality and it’s around everywhere.
