“Drop me, please! I don’t want your filthy van to ruin my clothing. Please, Dad, don’t come at all. When her father, a coal miner, offered to drive her to her graduation, Sabrina lost it. Pete, however, arrived at the location and took a seat in the parent’s sitting area because he couldn’t miss such a significant occasion in his daughter’s life. “Miss Sabrina Parker is our next caller,” the host declared. With his phone in hand, Pete hurried to the front to begin shooting while Sabrina accepted her diploma. When Sabrina saw her dad, she became enraged, but he was overjoyed. The host said, “Mr. Parker, can we please have you on the stage,” just as Sabrina heard it. When Sabrina saw her dad approach the podium, she was shocked and confused about what was happening.

Love, respect, and understanding should be the defining characteristics of a parent-child relationship. Regrettably, there are times when kids grow up feeling ashamed of their parents because they don’t drive a fancy car, are distant, or don’t work at a profession that they consider “respectable.”

This frequently results in tense relationships and complicated feelings.

The 18-year-old Sabrina heard the front door open while she was speaking on the phone with a friend. It was Pete, her father, a coal miner. The young woman didn’t want her dad to hear her chatting about her impending graduation, so she quickly cut the discussion short. She didn’t want him to go since she thought her friends would make fun of her appearance due to his “dirty” appearance.
