500刀 may not 是個數 in your eye, but

we do not know how much he earns, maybe that is a big number for him!! Even w/o the father's $500/month, the mother, if she is a good mother, should buy new clothes for her daughter, no matter what!!! The father has his every right to know about his daughter, and the daughter should be told that his father is still loving her!! What kind of personality will the daughter have if she is not allowed to communicate with her own dad?
