Tiny Smiling Daddy

Tiny Smiling Daddy is an interesting story about the relationships in a family. There are several problems between Kitty and her parents. The most significant one is her being a lesbian. It is an unordinary situation but even she wasn’t so accepted in the family(I don’t understand why) she gets at the thin end of the wedge and tells them she is lesbian! Her father was already distant to her emotionally and this turned her distance into anger. The already existent communication problem is now a big conflict between them. She clearly shows that she needs her parents and their support in life. I think the reason he acts like this; he feels ashamed of her daughter to be a lesbian. He maybe boggles from the reactions that he might get from his friends because when his friend Norm called him to tell about the article he gets nervous abouth what she might have written. The article is a pure evidence of lack of communication between Kitty and her father. She could express her feelings to public but not her father and I think this is really sad. On the other hand we can’t really blame the whole thing on the father, after we learn abouth his father. The main reason is he grew up in a family which he didn’t have enough love and care from his father. This doesn’t make him a bad man but this makes him a bad father which is inable to show his emotions.
