"Don't Want To Lose Him": Reddit User's Emotional Post On Father Facing Workplace Humiliation Goes Viral

An emotional Reddit post has moved the internet to tears after the user shared the heartbreaking struggles of his 65-year-old father, a physics teacher who faces constant humiliation at his workplace. In the post, titled "My dad, 65, is absolutely broken from the mistreatment he receives in his workplace - I need your help", the user described his father as an "extremely qualified Physics educator" with over three decades of teaching experience. He holds an MSc from IIT Kharagpur. However, despite his qualifications, the son said that his father is subjected to daily insults and disrespect. "His only wish is to be respected, which apparently is too much to ask for in private schools," the son wrote.

In a particular distressing moment, the son recalled a phone call where his father broke down in tears and said "he cannot take it anymore". Having lost his mother a year ago, the young man expressed his fear of losing his father too. "I cannot afford to lose him. He's the only parent I have left. He's my whole world," the redditor said.
