Do you know what your dad’s fears are? Maybe you are also blaming your dad for being unavailable (or being emotionally unavailable), and you didn’t know that he had fears. That Baba (dad), who was supposed to be our wall or pillar of iron. He’s got fears, He didn’t know what he was, especially if he immigrated, he’s in a new country, if he loses the job that he’s kind of been secure in I don’t know if anyone’s gonna, like, take me in in the next company. It’s not like I’m competing against all the people that were born here and the young students. That’s a lot of pressure.
