In the recent year, both father and I have been very busy with work in separate parts of the country. The family finances continue to deteriorate day by day. When he was young, he left home to make a living. He had achieved so many great things all by himself. Who would have imagined his older years to be so disheartening. It is no surprise that as he looks back on his life and feels sad and dispirited. These circumstances made him very temperamental and every trivial matter at home made him angry. He started to treat me differently than he did before. After these recent two years of separation, however, he finally forgot about my failing and started to showing interest and tenderness to my son and I.
