In reply to the discussion: Very troubling phone call from daughter [View all]Cheezoholic
(3,535 posts)Unfortunately I feel the same way as your daughter, the best way to preserve one's sanity is to leave. But unfortunately again, those of us that are poor (as usual) will have to do the fighting, dying and suffer the boot of oppression on our necks. I feel your daughters pain and fear. I have children and grandchildren who all are equally scared. I have a granddaughter who is trying to save enough money to move to Switzerland where she travels for work occasionally. I myself traveled their for my work (she works at the same company I did) and its night and day. People smile, they dont live in fear, they're kind and friendly to EVERYONE. But they will laugh at you if you don't know how to plow at the bottom of the bunny hill on ski's like I did lol.
As a note 20 years ago I was seriously planning on relocating there or somewhere near. I had the money. I chose to pay for one child to finish college and pay for my granddaughters college. Thats where my retirement went and thats fine, money well spent. It's sad where parents have to make decisions like that for education in this country and instead gives it to uneducated, untrained, steroid junky wanna be WWF assholes 60k dollars to shoot innocent people in the head.
Peace
