I think what's difficult with that is they are connected.

When people say, like for some people, disconnecting from their family is very easy.

Easy.

Not easy.

I'm sure it is difficult, but they are able to do that.

For a lot of people, it's like, no, family is blood.

Like it's this thing that you carry that you can't ever disconnect from.

So I agree.

It's very, it depends like where you are in that spectrum.

But I, it makes me think as you were talking about being empathetic for them, which is very hard when people are treating you.

And what I hate the most about this is they are making you feel like you are not good enough.

It's horrible.

For their son.

It's horrible.

That is so unfair.

That is absolutely not the case.

And they are projecting, as you said, Steph, like they might be going through something themselves or have gone through something.

It makes me think of, and sorry to relate this to a movie, but it's one of my favourite movies, Crazy Rich Asians.

At the end, the mum of, I can't remember the character's names, but essentially one character is getting married into or is proposed to and is going to get married into a very, very, very wealthy family, the male side of the family.

But she is not from money.
