I'm pretty close to what Echo said. She's hit hard times and swallowed her pride enough to call home for money. But her father can't drop being hard and difficult, so he gives her the runaround and a guilt trip before denying her request. It's pretty much the last straw that ended their relationship. He traded his daughter and the $2000 she asked for in order to continue being as hard as steel.
