On my last post I tried to explain what is the major cause of my stress and terrible anxiety. I was accused of being a scammer! That hurt very much. I come here to get help and sometimes to vent. I thought this was the place to do these things since no one else seems to care about my well being. Well I am still in the same situation. My Embassy still say they can't help! My lawyer is useless! Just keeps taking all my money and not resolving anything. So for those who think I'm just a scammer...come here and spend one day in my shoes!

Just so low today
I'm sorry you're still dealing with everything, I know that alone is exhausting and frustrating. I really wish people took the time to think before they speak. Seeking help and sharing your situation and feelings with us is not an easy thing to do. I'm proud that your still hanging in there, don't let anybody make you feel bad for what you're going through. Ignorance is far too common unfortunately. Sending good vibes your way 😊

Thank you Sasha. I could use some friends like you today.
Well I'm here to help when I can. On my good days I try to put a smile on people's faces like they do for me on my bad days.

Hope things are better .
Hi have been looking at an expat website with people from Canada who can give on line help with living in D.R.
Two contributors seem to very helpful to people living in D.R. Unclebuck and Planner are very friendly. I found this site by a welcome "Hi to all Canadians living in Sosua and Puerta Plata D.R. Canuckonthemove had 26 replies and another thread-
"The Tinker support thread," may give some support with information. Planner seems to be helping with personal difficulties of accessing services for people living in D.R. and may find the right threads and contacts.
Have not looked at internationsorg/dominican-r... or
expatfocus.com/dominican-re...
(another ex pat forum)
Also found -
yell.com/citizens+-advice+b...
The search for The Citizens advice bureaux Canada led to the Facebook international website for Canada.

Wishing you all the best.
It really is awful when people make negative comments. I'm so sorry that happened and somebody was so insensitive. It has driven me away from this site more than once.
I read your post actually meant to comment on it but got side tracked.its terrible the situation your in I hope somehow it gets resolved with the best outcome.this forum has had a few bad apples recently some people are just on edge with certain posts please don't take it personally.wishing you luck.
Thank you. This situation is real. I am not sitting in a sunny beach tanning and drinking margaritas. I am actually in an apartment that I have my good delivered to. Still no help even from my Embassy. Still not able to leave the country. Been told by the government officials to not discuss problem on any social media! Now that's a threat! They know they broke the law now they don't know what to do now that the Canadian Embassy knows the whole story. Have no idea how this will end. My mental health issues continue to worsen and fear consumes me now replacing rage! Only prayers will help at this point. Unless some lawyer with international experience assists me?
Hi - have been trying to find links to follow up.

jim.lowther@vets.canada.org
alternatively
debbie.lowther@vets.canada.org. - Chair and co founder You can ask how to obtain the information your require concerning pension benefits and war veterans allowances etc.
Another contact point is Community information centre of Ottawa
info@cominfo-ottawa.org
facebook@211eastern Ontario
cominfo-ottawa.org friendly org with a mission to give people information concerning veterans welfare . No doubt twitter@211easternontario should give you
info through other members and info sources.
It must be so difficult to find help - did you get your money back as you booked your flight?
If not then I would write them a letter of complaint saying the flight was somehow cancelled with no warning, and you want the money back. Was it a transatlantic flight with a well known company, as other people like to know if some companies are not reliable.
This might seem nonsense but may be these websites might help.
I have used both and they have helped immune system and mental health.

Just saying hi
Hello back. How are you doing today?
Hey, I've just seen that you made it home, I am so happy for you. I really hope everything improves for you now. After all you've been through, I wish you all the best. xx
This is bad.
I didn't know about that post, sorry.
You should not have been accused of anything. This IS a place to come for moral support, encoragement or to vent.
You should never have been offended like that. So sorry.
