A step Closer to what we want is a step further from the ones you love.

Hi, Those feelings are not distinctly 'hurt'. I mean, parents in such cases, usually have a mixed feelings. They are proud of their children. At the same time they feel it difficult to stay away from them. But as they are more responsible than anyone else, they never want to hinder the growth of their children by imposing their personal desires. So they not only hides their feelings but also encourage the children in pursuing their dream, even at the cost of staying away. Thanks. God bless you

Yes, sometimes this can be true. But its a matter of choice and acceptance. If you really love someone, you must also accept his/her dreams and ambition in life. You should not be a hindrance of something that they want to achieve not unless it is something wrong like being a smuggler or something lol. Then it is your choice if you will step further from the ones you love. Why don't you bring them with you as you take a step closer to your dreams/ambition rather than stepping further from them.

I have personally experienced this. My parents didn't approve of what I wanted to do in life. But my dream and ambition for that time was just to be with my girlfriend since we live from a different city. I wanted to stay in her city. It was a tough one! Then that girl left me because she can no longer wait for me.

This is true only if you allow it. First step is communication. If they know and understand, they will see it is a direction you need to go. Every parent wants their children to succeed using their special talents and gifts. One can also follow one's dreams and still love those in their lives unconditionally. Perhaps the real answer is to SHARE your life and dreams with them.

I have experienced what you write about. I don't think it always has to be that way though, at least not permanently. There has to be a way of reconciliation of disparates and inclusion in the manifestation of dreams and desires.

To a certain extent I have to agree, however you go far and achieve a great many things, during this time you must spend quality time as oppose to quantity of time. As what is the point of working a local job and coming home to only watch tv.
