Because of bitterness, Gladwell and her siblings vowed never to be concerned with the dad, and they stayed for many years without seeing each other.

After that, she visited her father at their home and ironed things out which has really brought her piece.
"I forgave him and thanked him. The scenario prepared my other siblings and me to face life boldly and be humble and kind to anyone.
