>>1 If he came to Japan as an adopted child but was estranged from his adoptive parents, then I think he was a fake parent. Normally, wouldn’t it be fine for him to rely on his adoptive parents?
She could either marry a lifelong bachelor from 5ch or go back to Brazil to recuperate. I don’t think she can do anything special because there will always be people who take advantage of her.
I don’t know. I have depression too but no one is helping me. If you can get help from international organizations, go back to your country and get treatment, seriously.
Maybe if I leave the gloomy Japan and go back to Brazil, the cheerful country of samba and the culture there suits me better than Japan, my depression will be cured?
I think the immigration bureau is completely right. They refused to provide assistance. If they were not forced to do so under duress, then you are threatening them by saying that you must respect their wishes before they can enter Japan? Another joke lol.
>Although he graduated from high school, he became estranged from his wife. The impression would change greatly depending on which of them took what action to end up like this.
He was adopted by a Japanese-American couple and came to Japan with his family in 2016 when he was 12 years old. The woman’s residence status was “study abroad” and she graduated from high school, but she became estranged from her husband. What happened?
That’s true. He’s depressed and can’t do anything. Which means the old men on this thread have to take care of him. In that case, maybe it’s best for him to go back home for a while.
