1. Sometime wonder what would have happened if my mom hadn't died i was always with her and i always followed what she said .So i think that if she was still around i probably wouldn't have gotten expelled from school. Dad spent all his time at work,so we were like two total strangers after she died. He'd try to reprimand me without knowing who i was or how i felt.He'd tell me to put down the guitar and quit wasting my time.And he'd never show any sadness about mom. He throught he was being strong but he wasn't helping us or him.By not crying all he did was make us feel more alone.

Explanation / Answer

Life course changes according to the change in the culture of different countries. In the Mexico city if you able to see, there is a busy father who rarely spends time with his son and mother is taking care of son all the times but as Mother is no more in the world, Son feels helpless as he feels disconnected with Father and is lost on whom to approach to share any kind of feeling.

While in the Kenya, Mother is taking care and having good time with her son waiting for his father. This waiting showcases that there is an attachment with the father and strong feeling for him when you are going to receive him at the airport. There is a compassion for father arrival and happiness in the scenario thus if in any case mother is not involve, son has a connect with his Father and can share anything with him.

Thus there are different cultures where a father to show strongness disconnects himself from family while on the other side strongness comes from connecting with each other.
