Greetings and blessings to you dear child of God and Guru,
It is very sad that you parents live in so much fear and limitation.
Guru has blessed you and given you the bliss of His love. Enjoy this love and do this one prayer every day for the next 40 days. It is from Shabd Hazare (by Guru Arjan Dev ji to express his love for his Guru who was also his father, Guru Raam Das ji when he was separated from his Guru). It starts "Mera man loche gur darshan taa-ee bilapa kare chatrik kee nee-a-ee........."
You can recite this 11 times each day for 40 days. This is like reciting 1,000 shabds and will keep you from being seperated from your beloved. Do this and see how it helps your situation.
You can find this shabd sung on Sikhnet.com/gurbani
God bless you to cut through all negativity with the power of Gurbani.
