Mindy, fueled by determination and hope, persisted. "Mom, we can't dismiss family so easily. I'm sure if Uncle Robert knew how much we're struggling, he'd want to help. Let me talk to him, please."
Grace, feeling the weight of her daughter's expectations, tried to remain gentle in her response. "Mindy, it's not that simple. Your uncle has his own life, and we can't rely on him to fix everything for us. We need to find solutions together, as a family."
As Mindy continued to press the matter, Grace's patience wore thin. The stress of their situation, coupled with the difficulty of conveying the past disappointments, fueled her frustration. "Mindy, I said no! We can't depend on others to solve our problems. We need to stand on our own two feet and figure this out together!"
