“Don’t blame anyone for what has happened to your father. Things have changed drastically since the days of his own youth, but he has refused to see the changes…The fact is that parents get only reflected glory from their children nowadays, whereas your father has invested in all of you, just as his father invested in him so that he could help on the farm. Your father forgot that he himself left the family farm to come to this place.” – From The Joys of Motherhood
