    Yeah, I know my dad meant well but he probably went too extreme. When he came from Mexico he saw a bunch of other family members who didn’t speak much english and they were all stuck working min wage jobs, and he didn’t want that for himself or for his son. My mom never forgave him and held a grudge against him until he was diagnosed with cancer. Kind of sad that the only times I remember them getting a long was the last year before he died and mostly on chemo. After he died my mom admitted that he was right about learning english and I helped her enroll in a ESL program. Her english is a lot better now and she is watching a lot of TV in english these days.
