This feels a like a situation with a stereotypical 1950s-60s-style (at least in America) father who would work a lot in order to provide for the family because he loved them but never demonstrated it otherwise; while this could work with a stereotypical nuclear family (emphasis on "could"; it could also end up dysfunctional of the other parent is also non-present and/or emotionally unavailable), it really doesn't work when it's a single-parent household with an emotionally needy child, which seems to be the case here.

The parent should have tried to get a better sense of what their child needed; that seems to be the parenting failure here.

Yes and no. This happens a lot with many conservative countries. They believe in giving the material things needed to the child but without the love. I've known many single parents who don't give the emotional part of love but the necessary things. There was a documentary I watched on PBS of a teenage girl in China where she heard about her mother working to send her a proper education when she ended up running away because all she wanted was her mother's emotional touch.

I understand what you mean in an analytical way from seeing in TV shows and movies. However, I see it more as a realistic way that this happens too often.

classical, simple, but well drawn. Good read.
Thank you for the translation, gentlemen

And let me clarify here: with "emotionally needy child" we're just taking about a normal kid

As someone who lived through this exact familial situation... yeah.

That's accurate.
