I want to thank every person who has restacked this small portion of my three years in a hell I have yet to close the doors on. You are healing me. Thank you.

Oh god. That was something I’m not sure I could handle. Just glad you made it out.

It was a new start. It was freedom and isolation at the same time. Those three years will always be something I keep closely guarded.

What a terrible ordeal you had to go through but I am a bit confused as to why you couldn’t stay in America as a citizen?

This needs a bit more exposition if possible.

BTW, the passport photo does not do your beauty justice!

Oh; I was fat, blonde and unhappy when I lived with that husband. Not my finest moment. My eyebrows are drawn on due to me losing them from the stress.

At least that sad chapter of life is behind you now. Did you ever see your stepdaughter again?

Every second of every day. I speak at the Third World Congress on the Advancements in Mental Health & Psychiatry in March of 2025; which is held in Amsterdam. I may not return.

I saw a recent picture with him and a new woman. She was in the picture.

I have no clue why they wanted me to leave America within 90 days. I didn’t leave. I have had plenty of contact with local, county, state and federal government due to this and my previous and current positions. Ask the TSA?
