daughter being a prostitute as long as she could take care of herself and wasn't dependent on him or others to survive?

I remember thinking that's a crazy sentiment but I have actually heard that sentiment (less extreme of course) echo'd since where a parent thought the primary goal for their child was for them to be independent. That sounds great but it actually comes into Middle-class and wealthy folk aspirations like going to school and seeking advance degrees.

I've seen parents with the means decide to not help their kids with schooling because they think it's more important for the kid to be independent and make it on their own.


Wealthy folks actually expect their kids to be dependent on them for some time as they find the right path for themselves.
