Dear Ravi:

Sounds like good work asserting yourself with your grandmother and father. When you told your father that you will start going out on your own etc. once you hopefully clear the exams, notice, being assertive, you are not waiting for his (or mother’s or grandmother’s) permission to go out on your own etc. You are simply notifying them (not asking for permission and not waiting for such).

Regarding being a good person and earning the right to be reunited with Jerry:

I understand how intensely you want Jerry back in your life. And I very much hope it will be so. I also want you to realize you are a good person now, as you are regardless. I am not taking away anything from how strongly you desire her back in your life; I am only saying I hope you build confidence in yourself, realizing you are a good young man now.

I got to know you through our correspondence here and I know that not only were you born good, as all babies are, but you are also a good young man, a good adult.

Till your next post-
anita
