Reddit Users Help a Father Become Friendly with His Daughter

Every parent loves their child more than anything else in the world. All they want is for their children to love them back or at least trust them enough to share what is going on in their lives.

However, some parents are so strict that they scare their children with the perception of making them into ideal human beings. They don't realize that this only pushes the child away.

Sometimes, parents realize this sooner, while in other cases, they only become aware of it after their child has become completely disconnected from them. By that time, it is often too late to regain their trust.

In this story, the father faces an issue and turns to Reddit to seek people's opinions about his situation. It was a conflict between his wife and daughter, which he managed to resolve to some extent.

Yet, he came online to seek further advice to sort things out completely. Reddit users provided him with appropriate advice related to his issue.

Even though his Christmas was utterly disrupted, in the end, he felt happy and content with all the love and support he received from the users who helped him regain his daughter's trust.
