Am I bad daughter?
Am I a bad daughter for not giving attention to my father’s pain? He has been with me all my life, but he was never really involved in my life.
My older sister was the one who truly took care of me since birth. She gave me everything — my education, financial support, and guidance. Now I’m working, and I owe a lot of it to my sister.
When I was a child, my mother was the one working hard as a farmer, vegetable vendor, and laundry woman. My father also worked as a construction worker, but the money he earned went to his vices — smoking, drinking alcohol, and gambling. Before, he smoked 2–3 packs a day, drank alcohol every day, and gambled every day.
So how can I give sympathy to my father when he spent most of his life thinking only about himself? All I see is a father who has been selfish all his life, and until now, he still hasn’t changed.
