Arguments, disagreements, confusion and cold stares – conflicts with your dad can be dramatic. Such differences can sprout from the oddest situations, like letting you go on a trip or misinterpreting a sarcastic "nice job!"  

What deepens the divide further is disregarding emotions and overlooking past mistakes that define our behaviour. Actor and spiritual mentor Aushim Khetarpal tells Midday how in some cases, “fathers tend to project their struggles onto their children, without pausing to reflect on their shortcomings.”

Opposing views on finances, lifestyle choices or family responsibilities escalate tensions, making resolution harder. If not addressed promptly, these issues can strain the relationship for life. On the occasion of Father’s Day, Midday.com racked the brains of a relationship and mental health expert, and a clinical psychologist who shares a fresh perspective on how to resolve conflict with one’s father and strengthen the divine bond.
