My
whole life was dedicated to excellence, when at school, I was a very good
student and then I had a great career working in the top management of international
footwear companies.
In
October 2005 as I was exercising riding my bicycle I was run over by a minor
without both driving license and adult supervision.
I had
just started to work as president of a brand in the Deckers group but the
accident gave me traumatic brain injury and I lost my job and (maybe) the ability to ever work again.
This
injury has devastated my life, that of my family in Italy and here, the oldest
of my children is my son who was 6 y/o at that time.
The
insult added to my injury is my wife falling in love with my former physiatrist
in Santa Barbara
My
two young children are told by their mother that her lover is a “father
figure”. They are very confused because they still see and love me as their
real father while they are forced to replace me with someone who will always
have plenty of TBI victims that never get better and prove him right and
successful in his world, a truly unethical individual.
I was
told of the possibility that this individual is available to my (now ex) wife
because being a doctor has the instinct to help those in need. What shocks and
infuriates me is that it is common knowledge that TBI victims can improve with
family help, all I have been doing for years is suffer for jealousy and not
being able to educate my children directly.
This
insult hurts much more than my injury itself because is irreparable, I am now
divorced with the goal to take care of my children, who are victims like me.
