Or to put it another way, when RL drama bleeds into SL.
I’m just coming off of two of the worst days of my life. Given the events of the past four months that is really saying something. My 14 year old daughter was missing for nearly 12 hours. That may not seem like a lot in the US, but here in India it is literally life threatening. To say that my wife and I are devastated at what is going on with our daughter would be a major understatement.
So now we are scrambling to relocate as quickly as possible. My time in SL is now filled with distraction and though I do my best to keep the drama away, I spend a lot of time sitting and watching others having fun while feeling sorry for myself. Some of the shine has gone out of life, both RL and SL with what’s going on. I’m terrified by what’s happening with my daughter, I’m terrified of what life is going to be like once we return to the US given my wife’s condition, I’m walking around on the verge of tears at all times.
One thing I will say, the support I am receiving both in RL and SL has been nothing short of amazing. Humbling really. From Miss to Walter to new friends that I’ve only just met, the outpouring of support has been wonderful. It’s been a great comfort, Miss especially, through a really rough time.
