Some parents are like that; they want to see their children succeed and see them in places they could not go. It is unjust from your perspective, but that is how parents are, and we cannot blame them. He made you a man without murdering you, which is enough reason to admire him.
But that is you inner heart feelings. We know that some children can't rebel against their parents since they are their parents, but they despise them from the bottom of their heart. Dear Friend, @dove11, he made you a complete man, that is more than enough to forgive him. Good luck in the contest.
So true, all parents feel as if they were doing their children a favor by pushing them in a career which although within the reach but in most cases not liked by the children. However, I tried my best and did what I wanted to do but never let him know about my real intention.
I understood your success through your articles, stay safe. God bless you.
