I'd ask if they'd agree to help get you home if it doesn't work out, and then go. Why not? When's the next chance gonna be?
Nope they wouldn't be able to afford it, family is in debt deep enough as it is, and tickets to Colombia aren't as cheap as the price of beer there would suggest. I mentioned what Honeythorn said to me because quite frankly, such controlling behavior on the part of my family is not as out of the realm of possibility as I'd hope. They did for example for one of my exes prevent me from accessing my bank account so I couldn't see her when they learned her father was a drug lord(she was estranged from her father), something for which I'll never forgive them.
