Did your father really tell you that? I can't believe it. Why could he do that?

Yes, he said that. He said today is not an important day.

It is my birthday.

Oh my son, you have to understand him. He's under a lot of stress because of his job. He works all day and he doesn't have much time. He always arrives home very tired.

Yes, I know, but it is my birthday, Mom. He promised we would go to the movies. I talked to him yesterday when he came home and he told me we were going to go to the movies. I was happy because I thought we were going out, but no, he forgot it. He just forgot it. He doesn't care about my birthday. He doesn't care. He said that it's not important to him. He doesn't love me, Mom. He doesn't love me. That is the truth, right? He doesn't love me.

No, don't say that. He loves you. He loves you very much. He just...

No, Mom, stop defending him. He just doesn't care about this family. Last year was the same. My birthday came and he forgot too. As usual, you organized everything. You threw a party for me and invited all my friends. I liked it and don't get me wrong, I appreciate everything you do for me, Mom, and I love you very much. But you have to accept the reality regarding my dad. He doesn't care about us. Two years ago, he promised that for my birthday we would go to the National Park, and what happened? We never went. I was waiting for him the whole day and he never came.

Yes, I know. He had a problem at his job that day. He was tired.

Yes, I know, because as soon as he arrived, he went to sleep and didn't even remember it was my birthday. He always tells me, promises me that he will do something and never does it. I'm sick of his lies. Every time I play in a championship at school, I wait for him to arrive so he can watch me play, and he never comes. I always wait for him and he never shows up. It's always the same, Mom. That's why lately I don't wait for him anymore. I already know he's not going to show up.

I know, I know. I know what you're saying is right, but he loves us very much. He works hard to give us everything. He's always thinking about us.

That's not true. He only thinks about his job, earning money, and fulfilling his duties. He doesn't think about me or you, and that's worse because he doesn't think about you either, who are his wife. I have heard you, Mom. I've heard you fight because he forgot your anniversary. On your birthday, it's the same. Or if he doesn't forget, he's always late when it's all over. He makes you cry. He's not a good man and you know that. I don't want to see him. It's the worst birthday ever. I don't want to know anything about him. I don't want to see him.

Robert, wait. Oh God, he's very angry and I understand him.
