And what I learned was his father had left the home and his mother was working long shifts in order to support the family, which left no adult for D to connect with -- and he was in charge of taking care of his younger brother when he got home from school.
e così appresi che suo padre aveva abbandonato la casa e che sua madre faceva lunghi turni per sopperire all'economia domestica, il che privò D. di ogni referente adulto. E poi doveva badare al suo fratellino quando tornava da scuola.
