Why all this drama and pretence of love and sacrifice when their sole motive is to gain profit ?
They(parents) care and provide - accepted. But the moment you take a decision on your own, the moment you refuse to be a robot, they are your worst enemies. Beware!!!. They would be out of kill you. If you happen to be a girl who likes some guy. They would file false police cases of kidnapping against the guy. They might kidnap you themselves and hold you in confinement. Bashing up the guy is a commonly accepted norm.
The same model parents who said "don't tell lies", will go to any length possible and break any number of laws to get you under their control. They least they would do is sever all contact.
The reason for your birth is they want support when they become old. They want you to accomplish what they couldn't and gain happiness out of that. They want kudos from the society for doing such a (supposedly) noble job. Power is a big motivation. They want to control you and feel powerful.
Are children mere business investment for them ?, the moment they think there would be no profit, they want to shut down the business or abandon it.
