Throw away for obvious reasons.

My partner kidnapped my children to different country.Three week granparent visit for "trial" will be soon two years. I dont have much options, so I followed. Now I am at country with zero friends and unknown language. I can not order in shop, my children just started talking in foreign language and I need translator.

This brings lot of stress, but it is also (sort of) distraction free. There is basically a truce with my partner. I am lucky to work from home and spend lot of time with my children.

I work about 2 hours/day to pay our bills. For another 5 hours I work on my "PROJECT". Very niche programming library in good field. Next year it will be ready, I am planning to divorce and scale up the business.

I am 10x programmer in very narrow field, all this reduces my productivity to third, so still doable.



Which country is it? Maybe one of us can help with daily problems (language, communication etc.) I'm in Turkey.


Seconded
