From Phil, China’s older brother.

Personally, I don’t want to get into a tit for tat argument over what has been said. I don’t want to get into detail the accounts that took place in my life when my parents decided to place me and later my brother in public elementary school. I do not need to harp on the fact that my daughter is loved and cared for, and is in a perfectly safe environment. I also know and still know how much my sister, China, loves my daughter—and how much it would pain her to see my daughter get hurt or even taken away from us, she has told me this so many times. I also don’t want to get into the fact that China told our uncle that she did not believe it was premeditated suicide that took my brother’s life. We all know how much Abe loved us, and how he would never do anything to hurt us or our parents. How many times Mom had helped China through her difficult times of her marriage is uncountable. My mom’s never ending patience and love is what has helped their marriage come this far.

I do not and will not mud-sling my sister China whom I love dearly—in spite of the recent things that have been said about my personal family, my parents, and all of us in The Family International. After the tears, the hurt that this show has caused, I cannot help but say how much I still love China, and hope that one day she will be able to find peace in her heart. I believe in what I do, I am determined to go on despite opposition from in-laws of my personal family. I believe Christ had faced similar incidents and more—eventual death to accomplish his purpose for all of us. How much more must I do for him. I also know Christ set an example and precedence by saying, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do”. I also must, and have, forgiven China for her actions. I still pray for her daily and wish her the best of luck.
