My marriage was a set up to force me to have children and then ruin my life after my children died. I wouldn’t be surprised if my husband killed my son while babysitting him, and then just swapped him for someone else’s baby. I was the only source of income and had to return to work six weeks after giving birth. He was unemployed and agreed to watch our son. Before we separated, he told me that he had me raped in my sleep to make our son. There were times when he would get so jealous of our son, even shoving his crib across the room with the baby in it, at one point. He ruined my life, but I can’t afford a lawyer, and there is nowhere to talk about it now, except Reddit.

Sometimes a country you perceive as dangerous is actually the last place some American gang will follow you. In 2020, I was stabbed by a white, female gang member who presents as a large frame male. I had years of threats and harassment follow me after meeting this person and being subsequently stabbed. That person doesn’t speak Spanish. I went to Ecuador to escape the bullying. No one followed me to Ecuador. I was not harassed or mistreated there. Everyone thinks Ecuador is dangerous. It wasn’t. I walked through the town of Guayaquil from my hotel to the airport, and no one hurt me or harassed me.
