[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5891937, member: 19675"] I've known quite a few socially maladjusted gamers, but gamers who were TRULY mentally ill? Few qualified, and all were connected to one group. One whom I didn't really know him was a gamer friend of gamers I gamer with- he committed suicide. The next closest was a twofer- a gamer in that group who was a deluded enabler of her pedophiliac gamer husband. Yes, she had kids with him and did not leave him once his secret was revealed.* That's a lot for a group to handle, and it tore that group up. But that was one group & three gamers in 35 years of gaming, covering 3 states and 5 cities. * tangentially, also in that group was a guy I've been buddies with since 1985. His dad had a buddy who was a card player and boardgamer with whom we formed a foursome for bridge, Acquire, and a host of classic railroad boardgames. His Dad's buddy was also a pedophile. (Never touched my buddy or his siblings.) [/QUOTE]
