Check Out my New Activism Website - https://quenbywilcox2.wixsite.com/takingbackamerica was hacked into. And even after \'throwing\' almost $1K to GoDaddy, with their continual promises to \'fix\' the problems, which of course were never \'fixed\', and I was extorted, yet again, by B.S. con-jobs of \'Sales, sales, sales\'. So I \'gave up\', and added to them to the pile of my \'Grievances\' to the LACK of Consumer Service in the US today, with NO Recourse under the Law, and started a New Activism website! Despite everyone\'s efforts to SHUT ME UP, I will NOT be Silenced. And, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAND OF THE FREE AND BRAVE, WHERE FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS \'SACRED\'- BULLSH*T!

Experience

1. Blogger on Huffington Post

   Huffpost

   Nov 2013 — Present

   In my blogs on the Huffington Post for Global Expats I will explore the many challenges trailing-spouse, homemakers face in their efforts to provide the loving & supportive environment the expat family needs in order to thrive in their new communities. I will also explore the issues women face when they lose their careers (thereby for some, their identities) & struggle to find ways to create a new sense of purpose & focus in life. Even going to the “politically incorrect” side of this issue, as I will explain how in my own case, my identity became that of a contented, fulfilled mother. Never for one moment did I miss the high-powered career or corporate life I had left behind. I even reveled in my “domesticated” life, w/ my children the center of my world. While the \'trophy-wife\'/country-club life of expat moms may still exist, they are antiquated relics & dinosaurs amongst the \'trailing spouses\' of today. While many of these women have given up high-power & high-paying jobs for their families, they have not given up their desire & ABILITY, to use their brains & skills.(The antiquated, derogatory attitude towards women & homemakers - calla tonta - is THE MOST EXACERBATING, INFURIATING, AND ILLEGALLY DISCRIMINATORY ELEMENT OF ALL.)Unfortunately, as I was to learn during my divorce, in the eyes of all too many, I was a traitor to the \'Cause;\' thwarting over 100 years of feminists efforts to remove the “shackles of oppression” of women everywhere. Hopefully by sharing my own experiences that span 35 years & 8 international moves, w/ the past 10 years filled with drama, intrigue, and decadence, I will assist other expat women (and prospective expats) fully understand the challenges & opportunities a life abroad has to offer. At another level, my stories will show how and why societies around the world are failing miserably to address the many problems & issues common to us all, with a perfection of means, and confusion of aims the main problem.
