‘In The Kite Runner relationships between fathers and sons are never joyful’ Whether or not a child has experienced genuine bonding with his father is integral to what characteristics and values that child will grow up to have. Hosseini portrays many father-son relationships, including that of Amir and Baba, Hassan and Sohrab and Amir and Sohrab. Despite some of the obvious tension between these relationships – such as Amir’s hopeless pursuit of approval from Baba – it may not be so clear to argue that the relationships throughout the novel are never joyful. On the one hand it could be argued that the relationships are never joyful when considering the recurring lies and hypocrisy that many of the characters have to deal with. Amir and Hassan where both concealed of the fact that Hassan was Baba’s true son despite Baba’s himself stating that ‘lying is stealing someone’s right to the truth’.
In both Wingfield and Lear families, there was a lack of respect from children to parent. Goneril and Regan feigned their compassion for dear daddy up until the point where he relinquished his power and wealth to them.

Poor communication and disagreements between care providers and family have been a significant feature in several high profile cases, such as the “Neary’ case (LB Hillingdon v Neary)[3] where the local authority prevented Steven Neary from returning home and restricted contact with his family. Mr Brook’s son was consulted and would have been later appointed as his ‘representative’ with the task of providing his father with independent representation throughout the deprivation of liberty process and ‘triggering a review’ on his fathers behalf if he felt it necessary (7 DoLS CoP 2008). He understood and supported the measures being taken, seeing them as necessary to protect his father and therefore in his best interests. Had Mr Brooks not had a suitable representative, i.e.’ nobody appropriate to consult’, as defined by the DoLS Code of Practice 2008, the supervisory body would have instructed an Independent Mental Capacity Advocate (IMCA) on receipt of the application from the managing authority, which would have ensured that his rights were protected.
