The documentary was good but her dad looks shady to me...money hungry

[speciesamused]

I wish DFE the best. One love

[HazelMermaidLove]

this is a cool documentary but i think the father should have totally put that money in the bank. he's in temporary housing. his money should only go to his needs for his family, not pleasures.

I was fortunate to not grow up in such circumstances. I enjoy watching these types of shows. It makes you much less of an ''elitist''.
