My parents spotted this years ago, and moved out and never looked back. I fully agree with them. I have to watch my family in the US lead a life I can only dream of. My younger brother earns less than me but lives like a king compared to me. I know where my bread is buttered.
Not wanting to be intrusive, but can I ask why, when your parents and brother made their escape, you did not accompany them ? If I had close family in the US I wouldn't even bother to stop and pack a bag !
