It's a tale as old as time. And I hate that it's so prevalent for many from different cultures who come here. It's saddening to witness that tension and struggle from one's own family which is supposed to be a support base and a place of refuge.

Wishing Oliver well and hope he's able to work and live without that distraction weighing him down.

It is non of our business and not worth speculating.
