Q2A

Got a quick question from Monika......

 

Hi I'm Monika once again
My sister told mom about that and she was real upset but my sis managed to convince
her that the guy she likes will keep her happy till the end. But dad he is going furious
about that. Actually he is our stepdad. The guy he wants her to marry is the son of a RICH
MAN AND HE THINKS ABOUT HIS PROFIT. I hate him and really I want my real dad
back. He was so understanding and calm. He thought of us not his profit. I told mom
about this but she pays no attention to this. My stepdad said he will sell me even for his
profit. What should I do? I wish my dad was here.
Please help me out.


This is our reply.......

Oh dear, it sounds like you and your sister are both going through a tough time now! But
your sister did well to tell your mom and although she was upset at the news its sounds
as if she is coming round and believes that the most important thing is for your sister to be
happy. It is a shame that your step dad is not being so understanding, but perhaps your
mom will work on him and he will come round. Money isn't everything and your sister will
earn enough as a doctor without really needing any one else to keep her - maybe that is
what your step dad should consider, not what he might get out of her marriage! We don't
think you should worry about your stepdad saying he would sell you even for his profit.
We think those words were spoken in anger and upset and are not really true. Your sister
is proving that because it looks as if she wont be made to go through with the arranged
marriage now. We can understand why you might wish your dad was still around. Did he
and your mom split up, or has he died? It sounds from your mom's reaction like you don't
have any contact with him, which sounds like it makes you sad which we are sorry about.
We hope this reassures you that your sister has done the right thing to tell your mom and
step dad how she feels, and that what your step dad said to you is not really going to
happen but it just came out because he was upset and angry.
