I was looking over a post today that made me cringe. They were asking questions and by the way that they wrote and commented I saw they were heading for total disaster.
Besides living in the country for almost 4 years I have also lived in Mexico for 3 years, so I am not trying to rain on anyone's parade. But I do know what it takes to make it here.
I have seen Central America chew up and spit out many people. I estimate that one in ten will make it. A good percentage are doomed from the start. The results can be devastating... divorce, financial ruin and worse. I even know of a guy that was shipped back to his home county in a straight jacket.
So the question is do I shatter their ideas right now and have them and others hate me for doing it or do I ignore it and let them possibly destroy their lives?
Oh,yes they also posted incorrect information, so if I do not say anything other people will have information that is not even close to correct. So it will effect others that read the thread.
Thinking out loud but would like your thoughts...
Tell them the truth or let them crash?
