2 Months in Jail in Nicaragua (Part 3) - Embassy & Fake Family

[@BhappyD]

I am so invested! Just discovered your channel last night with parts 1 & 2, and now I’m so eager for part 4! You are a wonderful storyteller! This situation is so crazy and I’m so sorry that your family had to go through all of this! I can’t even imagine how traumatic it was. I pray that you are all able to heal from everything you’ve endured. May God bless your family! ❤️

[@LimeRickey71]

I was hoping you would post this video tonight and I've been literally hanging on your every word. Thank you for this update and the level of detail you are going through so we understand all the nuances of this story.

[@lachandashawna1003]

From someone who has lived in different countries. I can only begin to imagine what you and your family went through. My heart goes out to all of you and pray you all can one day not be as triggered as you rightfully are..Thank you for sharing your story. Hopefully, it can serve as some guide to others who may find themselves in similar situations.❤

[@holdthelight11]

write a book! you are so good at conveying information in a riveting way!

[@lidiaenglish7891]

Great video and I am sorry your family went through this. My family is actually from there and giiiiiirl the stories we could tell! I know this is a recap but from your background it appears you guys are back from there safe. Sending you blessings and please don’t think all of us are so backwards! Sending your family hugs!

[@haddockandbentley2903]

Gosh. I’m sooo sorry this happened to you!! Got the part one recommended this morning and done part 3 now. To be honest, can’t wait to hear more.. you are an amazing teller and I love your voice. I just wish it was a good and happy ‘story’ and not this horrible thing 😢 Hope to see more parts soon. Don’t worry about the length, you really have a great voice to listen to and I do not find anything confusing. It is very clear. And again, I’m so sorry this happened to you guys!!! Big higg❤

[@love2playtv777]

I am invested! We need part 4. I’m so sorry you went through all of this. I live in SoCal and we are Mexican so go down to Tijuana often and laws are soooo different than they are in the US and that is so scary! I’m sorry that happened to you guys

[@anarojas1701]

I totally understand about sharing too much. My experience happened two years ago and I am finding it difficult to share to much because of the experiences we had in Nicaragua.

[@deniseparks8801]

Just watched parts 1and 2 last night and am thrilled to already see part 3. I'm enthralled and can only imagine how gut wrenching this has been on you and your family. This is so scary. Thank you for sharing your story. Much love!

[@JustJenn1982-zp6qh]

There are so many details of this story and you’re so organized when telling it. It must be so hard though. I hope you are all in a better place and the healing process continues.

I've been trying to get my steps in so I've just been walking around my house blaring your videos. So happy to see part 3! You're really good at telling this story (as much as I know it hurts to tell) and it's a story that I think really needs to be told. So thank you for sharing

[@allisonsjourney]

Thank you

[@kestrel4294]

I’m a new follower, and I just want to wrap you up in a huge hug. I’m so sorry for the trauma you been through, and I’m here to support your recovery! You need not share anything you think might be unsafe!! You can always add in the other details later, once you know yourself to be safe. I believe sharing can help you heal, and help other folks.

[@allisonsjourney]

Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words.

Please post part 4 soon!

[@mallorygraf8574]

I'm new to this page and am going to have to do deep dive into your past vlogs. I'm still trying to understand why you picked Nicaragua...my family is from there but no one goes there these days because people are so desperate and will take advantage of North Americans. Very glad you are back home.

[@HughMadBro]

Holy moly you’ve been through it & you’re still beautiful 💜 Thanks for the friend that took notes 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@sosleepy2]

Your story is so important. I can tell it's hard to share it. I am so sorry for you.

[@MrFriako12]

So sorry for all you went through.😢❤

[@duckduckgander]

You are an amazing storyteller. I've literally been a subscriber for over a decade and I'm so so sorry this happened to you. Please make these longer, I keep forgetting details and I'm so used to longer form storytimes on KZbin now. Once this has processed, you would be amazing at telling mundane stories just from your life there, you speak so well!!!

[@kamburglerimnotarealmarine615]

My goodness, this could be turned into a movie!!! I’m so sorry it’s a real life nightmare experience! Makes a person think before they consider driving in a foreign country! Hope all is well for your family!

[@allisonsjourney]

Thank you

[@adalineproulx9773]

I just dont know why insurance wasnt involved and limits as to what is paid out. It leaves the door open to corruption. Also the motorcyclist was intoxicated youd think theyd factor that in. Im so sorry Allison! Im just so glad youre home safe!💗

[@baddie1shoe]

This is absolutely terrifying. I can’t imagine

[@Nallisn]

I can’t believe this happened. It’s even sadder to think about people that have no friends or family to help them through corrupt lawyers or corrupt family of the deceased like you guys did. Also it makes me grateful to live in the US, where we have the law get involved in every step of the way to determine who’s at fault. I knew the family was going to ask for the highest number possible when they see a wife who really wants her husband out of jail. If this had been a Nicaraguan man that was jailed, they probably would have taken the first offer.

[@allisonsjourney]

I think about people who don't have support from family all of the time. I am eternally grateful for the support we had.

[@spunkycat6144]

So the motorcycle guy drove with no gas. I also operate a motorcycle, and that is when you just roll it, you kick up the kick stand and just roll down hill, gaining speed as you go (yes, I took physics class). Wow, just wow.

[@Mojadushi]

I was in Nicaragua two years ago to see if I wanted to buy a house there. I didn’t because in the month that I was there I already experienced the negative approach towards foreigners. Now I live in Andalucia (Spain)

[@karenorozco8917]

Much better choice!

[@ANYHOO0]

The best part of not buying a house in Nicaragua is that you don't have to live in Nicaragua.

[@flamingodiego]

I'm guessing they wanted $500,000 Not 50,000? Either way I'm just floored by the way "the law" works there. Your story is absolutely shocking. I too suffer from UC and I was so happy to hear that you were doing so well, but it's no wonder you started to flare. I'm so sorry Allison. I'm sorry that poverty, greed, whatever you want to call drive people to be so corrupt. My father in law use to be a snowbird in Mexico and he got shaken down a couple of times, and really scary people started taking over the businesses on their once peaceful street and they sold their place and have never gone back. :(

[@theflightoficarus]

That is a crazy number. I know the two numbers you speak of as we have had to figure those figures out when talking with the Nicas. And yes having everybody at the police station lying to get money is par for the course. So glad you made it out of that country, waiting for Part 4

[@brandy_lish]

What's the crazy amount?

[@theflightoficarus]

@@brandy_lish she is not sharing, so that is something if she wants to share in the future she can. But what medium number and what high number sound the same in a foreign accent?

[@PamelaReeves]

Having been the daughter of an American diplomat who lived in many foreign countries growing up, I now realize how important diplomatic immunity was. Can’t even BEGIN to imagine having to negotiate with the officials of the countries we lived. You are brave.

[@duckduckgander]

Your husband should do videos as part of his healing process if that would help. I truly hope he is in therapy after all this. I can only imagine what he went through.

[@mercedesreyes3640]

I’m from Nicaragua and this is soooooo normal for people to try to take advantage and do things in a sneaky way. People are so messy when it comes to laws and doing what’s right. I hope things get better and you guys can heal from this.

To be fair the first thing I would have done is called the embassy

[@LeighMerrydayPorch]

Holy cow. This is mind-blowing. You have an attorney here to manage offers, right?

[@ghostlyMostly1]

Who is going to need that info? Its unlikely that specific family is going to lose someone under the same circumatance and every family will value a person differently. She has given the important info, that monetary compensation is expected and there is a time limit.

[@mcoutrier]

At this point I don’t trust the victims family, why are they so cryptic with the amount they want. Why is the amount in some vanishing photo that you only open once!! Who does that? I understand that things work differently in different countries but vanishing expiring photos!! Do you want the money or don’t you? What if I’d turned my head while it opened and missed the amount? You make me NEVER want to go to this country! I’m sooooo happy you’re back in Canada! This entire experience is Netflix worthy! Maybe Nicole Kidman can play you and Anthony Hopkins play Mark! Maybe Angelina Jolie for your lawyer!!

Nah Nicole Kidman isn't acting much either is Anthony Hopkins, an no anj Jolie.. there's better actors out there!

As a retired GI RN, I was wondering when/if your UC was going to flare. 😒 Shocking situation. So, all of this due to a left turn? Night, alcohol, no headlight yet...... Not like lawyers going thru lawyers cuz money, yet higher amount?

[@NewEnglandCigarMilitia]

[@estancianews7837]

This is why you never drive in latin america. No matter how comfortable you feel there, remember you are always viewed as a walking ATM by the people. Anyone with means in central america has a driver. The reason is not just convenience. If you can't afford to live like the elite, you better appear as poor as a hippie and just use public transportation. Pretty much anyone in any latin american country will try to scam you. I have been scammed more in the U.S., though, too be honest. (Not even including by my ex-wife, haha) I was scammed by a doctor in El Salvador. They were giving me antibiotics for a simple fungal condition. It made the condition worse, causing me to need more "treatments". I figured it out and made the doctor reimburse me. The lesson is that anyone can scam you. The U.S. government does it to us all the time, haha.

[@spunkycat6144]

I wonder if the decedent had his own life insurance or if they have life insurance in that country.

[@sweethomealamanda]

Do they not determine who's at fault and THEN go from there? I remember you said that the person on the motorcycle was intoxicated... so why should your husband automatically be deemed at fault? I'm so sorry someone lost their life, but right is right. Sorry y'all went through this nightmare! 💜

[@Entirelyxtooxtiredx]

Probably because he turned left and cut the motorcycle off. That's at least how I understood it . That's actually the biggest killer of motorcycles is left hand turners

[@Nallisn]

I might have to go back and listen again to her explain that but I thought she said that if there is a death, it no longer matters who is at fault

[@TheDog_Chef]

There is no timeline for due process and evidentiary discovery. It’s all about $$.

He turned left in front of the motorcycle, so it was his fault.

Totally terrifying. It would be great as a public service announcement about the dangers of romanticizing living in another country. Just a p.s. the made-up names are just confusing. Just say "the family member I previously spoke to", "the embassy agent". No need for names.

[@bettywith2girls]

I l-i-k-e the names, because it keeps track of everyone. Mark is the 1st lawyer that was taken advantage of them; Michelle is the 2nd and good lawyer. Rose was the sister of the guy who died. I like the names and she does say who everyone is even with their name. Like "Bryan, the neighbor".
