Oh dear, that's really heartbreaking to hear. Money can't buy love or happiness, and it sounds like Elmo must be going through a tough time. It's important for parents to prioritize building deep, meaningful relationships with their children based on mutual respect and genuine affection rather than attempting to buy their love.

Still, it's never too late for anyone to make amends and try to improve such situations. Elmo might want to consider working on repairing his relationship with his children by focusing on open dialogue and active listening, seeking professional help if necessary.
