My husband has played this video game since at least 2004.
It has been one of his biggest hobbies and has always been greatly important to him.
A couple of years ago, my husband suffered a physical injury which required medication for pain management. Earlier this year that medication became a problem for him as he slowly developed a very severe problem and addiction which nearly cost him his family and I believe his life.
In october we did an intervention with the entire family to help him, and that day he agreed to go into rehabilitation therapy for a month. The rehab went well and he was released 2 days ago (Nov. 28). He returned home in great spirits, he spent the day with his family which consists of myself and his 5 month old son.
That same evening he went downstairs to play this game and see people he believed were his good friends. He was very excited. About 45 minutes later he came back upstairs extreamly upset and distressed. I asked him what was wrong and he refused to tell me until I pushed him as he was acting incredibley volatile and nearly emotional.
He told me he was betrayed by people he considered good friends. Apparently while my husband was in rehab fighting to save his life and his family the people who he believed were his friends kicked him out of the 'company' he was a member of and took everything he owned in game. He said they betrayed him and tried to ransom him for the few remaining things he had stuck in there space.
He said thier reason was because he lost a fight or something and it damaged some statistics for the company. Apparently none of these so called friends would show even a slight kindness to my husband. They took everything he had in game and ridiculed him.
After we spoke he said he was going to 7-eleven for some cigarettes. He did not come home, I was contacted 7 hours later the next morning by medical staff at a nearby hospital. My husband had suffered an overdose.
He is alive thank god, and I am not assigning blame to anyone. But these 'friends' of his were entirely aware of his struggle and I know for a fact had they not been so cruel to him this would not have happened.
My point is, while being cruel can sometimes be fun for those who are not on the recieving end, consider the potential harm you may be causing.
I wish I knew who these people were, my husband refuses to tell me anything because he knows I would come on here and call them out. But If you are one of those people, know that you are cold and have a mean spirit! |

i don't know what troll is
had to have my nephew who also plays this video show me how to talk on here so please forgive my ignorance. I do not know who was responsible for what happened so I have nobody in specific to blame, but I felt it is within my rights to express my extreme displeasure with what occured. |

hello everyone
I wanted to thank everyone who spoke in support of why I am so upset by this.
My husband is OK, he has returned to treatment and will likely be in there through christmas. His relapse is his own doing regardless of his reasons for it he acknowledges this.
I also have managed to find out the name of the group which my husband was apart of and who stole everything from him but I am torn between what I want to do and what I know he wants and doesn't want.
I know that he would be displeased for me to say anything but I want nothing more than to expose the people who could be so cold as to do this.
Remember real people exist behind the computer. |
