    Hey, I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and I’m glad you’re still with us.

    FWIW, your family would be traumatised if you did anything like that; quick skim reading tells me you have a daughter. This isn’t meant to guilt trip you regarding your feelings; I just wanted to offer a counter to the “my family would be better too.”

    I hope that you end up feeling in control of your own life, and maybe even proud of it. You deserve to walk her down the aisle with happy tears in your eyes (if marriage ends up being on the cards for her!)

      chances are I might never see them again, my abusive ex is asking for full custody and she might win. She has been denying custody for weeks, and denying calls, and the courts so far side with her.

      I have no rights, my daughter’s will be better if they forgive me anyways.

      I’m jealous of those people who have ups and downs in their lives, I genuinely only have downs.

        I have imagined this scenario. My wife is not likely to do anything like that but people do go crazy (fundamentally change) in some cases. I think if that scenario (divorce, no access to the child, losing end of the legal system) occurs, I think I’d pick up my shit and try move to a place without extradition agreement with my country. Then start anew.
