6. You talk about being independent. Be independent.

My dad would often say this to me when I was a young man if I were angry or upset with him or with something he said or did.

As if "being independent" were that simple and easy, and as if I wasn't going through any major struggles. Or as if, because he was helping me out, that he could do no wrong, and that I had no right to object to anything he said or did.
