What a nightmare. I think it says a lot about how much the parents care when they can't even be asked to turn up on time for a one-off meeting.

Yeah, I love Khmer people, but many of them just have no idea how to be an active parent nor have ever seen one. It's easy to blame the genocide for a lot of this, as the 30% of the most educated folks were killed. The trauma keeps passing down from generation to generation because nothing has been done to correct the psychological damage and PTSD. Even studies in California have show that third generation American-born Cambodians have high rates of PTSD even though they are very much removed from the Khmer Rouge history of Cambodia. It blew my mind that PTSD can be passed on.
