Mr. Sy: Filipinos are very smart and talented workers in China. But I am not agreeable to the

Filipinos.

Christmas. So I can’t really give my comments or report some cases about it.

Dear Dr. Mel ,

I am 14 years old and the eldest of four children. I used to have a happy family not until last year. My mother and father

have been fighting about things I don’t know. I love them both. They both said they’re no longer happy with each other.

They still love us but they say they can’t stay in the same house together. I don’t exactly know what will happen to us now.

I don’t want them to be separated. We need them. What should I do? What should I tell them? I need your help!

Sincerely yours,

James
