Let me get this straight: You have been in China for a while, married a Chinese gal with a son from a previous marriage and you are supporting them with a teaching salary. I assume your wife does not work. You worked at that shit training school and got ripped off. I have seen and heard all this before. All I can say is WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU FFS! No 1. Never marry a Chinese woman with a kid. 2) Never marry a Chinese woman with no money and low education. 3) Never rely on a teaching salary to live in an Asian country. I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way!
