Way after the fact but sober question, are there people in your life that you know have realized you were right and you can tell but they don’t actually say it? I have one or three of them

Nope. Not myself no.

Most of the people who used to be in my life probably think I am dead, as I ghosted everyone.

Without going in to a lot of detail, I got very tired of being a doormat in many other ways, absued in many other ways, some actually criminal, some resulting in serious physical injuries to myself, and I disappeared myself.

Frankly, with few exceptions, if one of these people managed to contact me somehow, I would literally just demand they pay me to speak to me, and then after they pay me, I would change my phone number and/or move again, wipe out and redo my (ephemeral) online presence/accounts, etc.

serious question, if you have no acquaintances in the US anymore, what's keeping you from moving somewhere else?

I am crippled.

Been doing physical therapy full time for about the last 6 months, I am making good gains, but uh, yeah, still got a ways to go... kinda hard to migrate when you cannot ambulate.

Other than that, literally nothing, I have occasionally been unironically asking (on lemmy) if anyone in another country wants to do a sham marriage for months now.
