It’s been quite a
while since my last post but I’m still here and still going to be sharing more
of the nightmare of Taiwan’s injustices against foreigners.
From time-to-time throughout this
long-running saga, I’ve needed to take a break from writing and posting
materials to handle things going on in the rest of my life and/or to give
myself a necessary psychological and emotional rest from recalling the many
unpleasant and stressful events of this story.
During this current hiatus from blogging, the
most significant thing I did was to travel back to Taipei in December for a
week to see the newest joy in my life – my second son who I hadn’t seen for 8
months since I moved to Indonesia. The impact of Alice Yang and the nursing university’s
evil fraud has been far-reaching - even blackening what should have been a much
happier event when my son was born last January. Instead, unnecessary complications
between my son’s mother and I have kept us apart, and for financial reasons I
had to find work outside of Taiwan last year in order to stop the financial
bleeding I endured for years in Taiwan. To make more progress in cutting down
the mountain of debt I’ve accumulated in the past 4 years fighting the evil and
injustice in Taipei, I’ve had to sacrifice being with my young son and seeing
him grow up most of the first year of his life.
The precious time in December with my younger son and
reflecting on my role so far in his and my first son’s lives have brought me to
some important realizations and inspired me to re-evaluate what I’ve
accomplished since they were born and what I must do from here on. The nursing
university fiasco and subsequent events the past 4 years have cast me far out
of the stable, positive direction my life had been tracking prior. Seeing the
innocent joy and existence of my one-year-old son, playing with him, and
imagining all that lies ahead for him and my 11-year-old boy inspired me to
some crucial, and in some ways difficult, decisions to try and pull myself out
of this 4-year-long funk and get back to who I once was and what I know I can
be as a good, loving father to my sons.
