[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5646556, member: 56189"] I had an accident which caused a permanent leg injury which restricts my movement and gave me arthritis in the knee-joint. Before this I was on track to get my handgun license (a pretty big deal in Australia) and was making contacts in the industry of and working towards getting training as a bodyguard (Close Personal Protection). After the accident I couldn't pursue that career path anymore so I borrowed some money and sunk all my savings into a business. Although I actually built the business quite successfully, the industry itself was in a massive downturn (who rents DVD's these days?) and with the level of competition I was facing I simply couldn't turn a profit. After a year and a half, I had to close my doors and give my stock and everything I owned to debtors. It's been over six years since my accident and yet I'm only just now coming to terms with it and moving on. I went from someone who had enough confidence in my own ability to be able to protect someone else's life, to someone who had the courage and tenacity to start their own business, all the way down to someone who was afraid to go out the front door. I ended up having to rebuild my entire self-image. I say this because I want you to know that I have a small inkling of what your friend might be going through. It took me over six years to get through my mess and all I really did was wreck my knee and lose my life savings... well... and get in debt to the tune of about $55,000. Losing someone he loved to cancer is ten million times worse than what I went through and to have that compounded by losing a business would be devastating to say the least. I'd say we should all cut him some slack. Love, support and friendship is what he needs. If that comes at the cost of a frustrating D&D experience for a couple of other people then so be it. [/QUOTE]
