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.

You absolutely do not know what you’re talking about. I’m aware of a little of his family back story, which I won’t share out of respect for Kylington. It is absolutely a story that would scar many and you can be thankful you have not had to walk in his shoes. What I’m aware of has nothing to do with direct negative effects from his family. If anything he has a very special family, especially his mother. The negative factors were external, and had a direct traumatic effect on Oliver and his family. When you don’t know what you’re talking about, don’t jump in with speculative crap like that. That’s why you were on my ignore list and will be going back to it.
