Can anyone help me out with a problem I'm having at the moment? You see, there's this guy I know and he's in trouble but there's not a thing I can do to help him out. What is disturbing about the whole situation is that he was deceived by some people into the decisions he had made. I feel like there is no hope right now and a part of my soul has been torn from me. I'm also very scared.

Post away, pick at our advice, and choose which one seems most appealing.

See, due your vague descriptions, it's impossible to deduce WHAT kind of situation this might be and thus who might be able to help you best.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Exactly, we need details.

 

[Paroxysm]

Yeah, but you must support them 100% without thought or else the terrorists win!

Well, I'm not quite sure what's going on myself but a male friend of mine has gotten involved with a group of people that are dangerous. I am just in grief because he's been tricked into a situation and is suffering because of it. I've had to tell him that we just cannot have any contact with each other ever again because I'd be putting myself in danger as well. I saw him recently and I just had to turn away because it's not the same person I met awhile ago. What I'm feeling is quite similar to the feeling of survivor's guilt. I just feel helpless in all this because there's nothing I can do. All that I can do is just keep the memory of who he was alive in my heart and mind. I just feel sick to my stomach because of all the lies and the accusations from these people concerning what they did to him are being heaped on my shoulders. I didn't do anything to anyone. I've just been doing everything that I normally do which is just work and go home to rest, your typical, boring average person's everyday activities. I just don't know what to do. I have to go about my daily routine but it's hard to pretend there's nothing wrong.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

I don't think this is the place to discuss what our military is doing (or to mock patriotism) - I'm fairly sure there are other threads or forums that would be more appropriate.

Yeah see...depends on what it ACTUALLY IS.

If he's hanging with an actual gang and was involved in a shootout and someone framed him, you need to get someone in his family involved or something to hire a lawyer.

If he's just hanging out with a different group and got emotionally tricked, well, hopefully he'll come around when he wises up.

DETAILS, WOMAN. WE NEEDS THEM.

Trust me, in this case it is. I've been having some weird people intruding in my life and playing vicious mind games with me for their entertainment. This guy that I talk of, he has made decisions to chain himself to their world that they couldn't trick me into making. That's how violent gangs work, they want to get you to willingly join them (And I still submit to the decision that I will not be a part of their family.) and then they destroy your life. They know how deeply I care for this man, in fact I am very sure they stalked him out and wooed him knowing how much I care for him and that is how they cause me pain, by making him suffer.

If this is all a cruel prank to get back at me for things that have been going on long before I came into the picture, like a cheating husband, I am not laughing at it. Why can't people learn to let bygones be bygones, forget the past and be happy? Why do they feel the need to be so cruel and violent?

Wait, so this gang tried to recruit you too? To be a hitwoman? Is that it?

 

[The Original Bamfer]

If you know so much about gangs and people playing mind games, why can't you avoid them?

 

[SymbioticToxin]

Bamf has a point.

 

[Godzilla2000]

Because they are stalking me. They even come into where I work and intimidate me. I'm just so scared right now.

 

[Ash J. Williams]

Deal with it.

They're probably still upset about Rafael's appropriation of the Begninos' trust fund and his usage to fund the Dylirian fleet's offensive against Prima Orsec. Your advisors warned you not to travel to Orsec at this point in time. You knew how tense relations with the Philardians were.

He is bound with the mythical chain of Orthilio. Only with the Blade of Swaheelen can it be undone.

If you're so terrified from being stalked, call the cops. At the very least pass these thoughts on to someone who's real, who's in the physical world, that you trust. Chances are they can help you better than we can.

Totally lol'ed.

If she passed her thoughts into the real world, they will see.

At this point it's not about the local Police. This is something for Federal Troopers and the FBI to take care of. There's more than a few people within that gang with better knowledge than I possess that need to wake up and contact the authorities. My friend, no, my Soul Mate's survival is at stake. I and many others have been trying to get these people to cooperate. It's not about family, they could care less if they'd lived or died, it's about being a human being. We need them to start talking to the authorities.

I can help get your soulmate back. I'll assemble my team and we'll track him down.

I doubt the FBI will be able to defeat Godzilla if the whole of the Japanese military has failed time and again.

That's nice, but seriously someone in these gangs needs to have a crisis of conscience and contact authorities, even if it's anonymously. Things have gotten out of hand and insiders need to help all of us who are innocent civilians live normal lives again. We didn't ask to be a part of their conflict.
