Please, supreme leader will suffice.
But please don't accuse me of naivety. I'm well aware of how the world works. Should is an ideal, and it's an inescapable fact using guilt to build a relationship isn't going to work. Ever. It will always fail at some level. Now maybe the son is guilty of a lot of things. I'm not going to disagree, but starting off a relationship with guilt is not one of them.

Means nothing to me.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Quite apart from him wanting to get his son to Church, I also read the concerns of a loving Dad.
Where he said they still loved him? And where he asks how his job search is going?
Indeed. I agree. Still doesn't detract from the initial guilt trip which, unfortunately, makes everything after that redundant.
So black and white supreme leader, what a wonderful world you must live in.
Bon chance.
