This week's column deals with two inquiries from American fathers of bicultural children.
CJ is currently based in the United States, having returned to his home country to take care of an ailing parent after getting divorced from his Japanese wife. His two young children reside in Japan with their mother.
In recent years there has been a lot in the English-language media about international tug-of-love cases concerning bicultural children. However, CJ's divorce was an amicable one, and his ex-wife supports his desire to come back to live in Japan and stay involved in their children's lives.
