Misunderstanding Over a Parent's Relationship

A common practice in the entertainment industry is the plunging of second or third generation children into acting or singing. While this phenomenon can be merely dismissed as “following in the footsteps” of parents, the younger generation has to deal with making a name for himself/herself without having to drag the name of famous parents. However, not all children have the looks or the talents that made their parents big. Sometimes, they enter showbiz because they are scions of famous celebrities. In other words, they try to establish careers because that is expected from them. Consequently, some do not last long, as they do not have the interest to pursue acting or that they could no longer stand being compared to their parents.

Having been born to talented parents, Captivating Star (CS) was destined for a career in the entertainment industry as the second generation of a showbiz clan. When CS finally made it big, his family benefitted from his earnings. Unlike other actors who forget about their family once they become successful, CS always stressed that he is doing everything to make sure he gives a better life for his family. Particularly, CS has always been close to His Mother (HM), who struggled to give him and his siblings a comfortable life prior to him getting his fame and fortune.

While all seems to be well, the grapevine says otherwise. Allegedly, CS found out the HM is supporting a boyfriend. This discovery did not sit well with CS and he confronted HM about this issue. In fairness to HM, she said that she was not using his money, as she has her own money that came from her shows and own endeavor. HM insisted that she is working hard to make sure that she does not touch the hard-earned money of CS. Despite the reasoning, CS was still unconvinced and he did not like the idea of HM supporting another man regardless of the fact that she was using her own resources. Moreover, his image might be affected simply because of HM’s alleged behavior. Although they have had typical family disagreements, this issue has caused tension and CS is still much bothered by the demeanor of HM.

“The problem is that without an understanding for their meaning and purpose, most relationships quickly become little more than vehicles for the pursuit of selfish and individual goals. Disagreements then become a battle between conflicting interests, rather than a search for a mutually satisfying resolution.” ― Matthew Kelly
