Hi Erecura. Yes, some things posted in response to your travel/stay in relationship thread were really off but I knew you could figure out the real scoop on studying abroad and/or immigration if you hadn't already If you do decide to travel, I wish you well wherever you go. I hope one way or another you and your boyfriend can find peace.

With regard to undocumented immigrants...I emigrated to a new country via the legal route but I have endless empathy for undocumented immigrants and asylum-seekers. I left a country which was torn apart by war...it was a miserable place to live. I was very fortunate to have the means to enter a safer country legally. Not everyone has the means. I realize that was not the point of your thread, Erecura. I'm just conscious of all the other folks who read the PC threads...seeking comfort and support...many of whom may be immigrants...with or without documents. I will leave the topic there but I always say that a person's a person. And I don't think anyone deserves to "rot in a detention center." We are all in this life together. All countries. All humans. Peace to everyone on PC and beyond
