Hope you all have a wonderful trip. As a Canadian expat child, raised in Asia in the 50s and 60s I understand about not being “home” for years on end. For us, 3 year gaps were common. Anticipation and arrival in Canada were super exciting. Early days of the trip were great. But soon I was ready to go back to our adopted country and MY home. All perfectly normal in the life of an expat kid!

Close friends of mine had nearly the exact same experience as your nephew and his wife. It’s too terrible. I’m so sorry.

I just read your niece's twitter thread, which was horrifying and terrifying. I'm so sorry she and her family are going through this. I can only hope that this ordeal results in a major exposé and change to an abusive, ignorant system. Really, I don't know whether to scream or cry.
