Jessica, in this world you either choose to fight the fight or contribute to the accepted norm. No 2 assaults or their impact on the person is the same. What is the same is the lingering PTSD as person has to learn what works for them to handle their assault. You are remarkable, your family is amazing, and your decisions sound about Morocco for you and your family. I hope your journey to healing brings back the faith you had in yourself prior to the assault and takes away any hint of doubt. You are a remarkable woman from what I have seen over the years and your decisions must be sound for you and your family not for anyone else. Thank you for sharing and for sharing your inner self. Enjoy your off the grid time!
I’m grateful that you are sharing this. As much as I love Morocco, but the way men treat women has to change (everything’s great if you’re their mama). It’s important that that everyone feel safe there. It’s extremely important for perpetrators to be called out, so I’m glad the owner of the Riad saw the light.
With time, I hope that bargaining with taxi drivers and vendors will be less stressful for you (this is a skill I don’t have). You’ve been successful at this before.

You are bold and brave to share and I have no doubt you will inspire others to act in the same manner. Well done
Hi Jessica,
I’m grateful that you are sharing this. As much as I love Morocco, but the way men treat women has to change (everything’s great if you’re their mama). It’s important that that everyone feel safe there. It’s extremely important for perpetrators to be called out, so I’m glad the owner of the Riad saw the light.

Take care of yourself. You’ve got this!
