Dude, I just read it all.... He is too good of a guy for this to happen to man. Even just talking to him on here, you can tell that he's one of the nicest guys one could ever meet.
Crit, in case you get back and check these threads any-- just know this. We may be all over the world, and some too far to help, but you have made true friends here. The type of person you are has shown through with the way you've treated everyone here. You're one of the few people on here that I see stand up for the little guy, and I like that.
Everything DOES happen for a reason. You are too good of a person for the universe to let your story end here. Our sight is limited, and we can't ever know why some things happen, but I do know that if you are a good person and something bad happens to you, its BC you weren't on your intended path and the universe is course-correcting you before something even worse happens.
This is by no means the end. Take a step back, and think about your future (I'm sure I don't have to tell you that). I've had my cage rattled before and it really sucks-- hopefully one day people won't be able to use this amazing plant as an element of vengeance. But one thing I have learned, is that no matter how bad shit seems to be, the wheel of life keeps moving forward, and its gonna take you with it. Every day will get easier, until (sooner than you think) you are looking back on this whole situation, and realizing what you need to do differently next time.
You'be got a lot of true friends here, man. I'm rich by no means, but if Australia has a western union and you're in a tough spot then hit me up and I'd be more than willing to make a donation to you to help you find your place in the world for now. And like everyone else has said, keep your head up, keep moving forward, and don't forget the most important thing-- your little girl. You and I have that in common, and I know you'd do anything to make this world better for her. The best thing you can do for her now is to be strong. Someday, this will all just be another story to tell her.
