Life at the top can be tough, but life to get to the top can be even tougher.
Andrada Surdeanu is chasing the dream to become a tennis pro and it’s her father to help her to get there.
Unfortunately the “father-coach” formula often put an extra stress on both parents and kids and sometimes it can turn a bit ugly. This is what has happened to Andrada that after losing a match in Israeli was hit by her father to leave her with a bloody nose.
The father was immediately arrested and he was detained for one night in jail.
After that Andrada defended her father with a post on facebook “My father is not a beast, he didn’t break my nose; I didn’t have my face covered in blood. It’s true, he slapped me once. So what? I deserved it.
It was my fault because I’ve yelled and said some words to him. I was irresponsible after all the sacrifices he made for me. I admit that I was scared in that moment, but I know he regrets what he did and he loves me.
Nobody says that he didn’t do anything wrong, but he doesn’t deserve to be treated like this. I want my father back because I love him.”
Let’s hope they can get some peace.
Andrada and the father
