I Had To
A strict father raises his son with discipline, unaware of the deep scars he leaves, until a lifetime of unsaid love is revealed too late.
Synopsis
Kevin grows up under the firm hand of his father, a successful businessman whose strict discipline overshadows any visible affection. As Kevin matures, he resents his father’s harsh ways, believing he was never truly loved. Refusing to follow in his footsteps, he distances himself, convinced his father only valued power and control. But when his father falls gravely ill, Kevin is confronted with a lifetime of hidden letters, documenting every sacrifice, every lesson, and every silent act of love. As he reads, his resentment turns to heartbreak, realizing too late the depth of his father’s devotion. With his father’s final words, Kevin is left with a choice: to hold onto the past or embrace the legacy of love he never understood.
