The question you need to ask is not why your father is not supporting you but that why you still believe in your father more than in yourself.
If one has to do something in life then one must not be dependent upon the opinion of anyone including one’s nearest ones. Being upset does not help. It will only waste your time and energy. Use the opposition and discouragement of others to grow strong and independent.
Affectionately,
Alok da.

Yes but the world is full of such things. Even great wars have taken place over women, wealth and power.
