Rebuilding a Carr

A good friend was hit by a car while walking down the highway after a weekend at a labour day weekend festival. Almost killed him. Semi-vegetative state,he woke up to rcmp handing him charges for posession of marijuana.
Heavily medicated for years and barely able to walk,couldnt drive and stuttered so bad you could barely understand him. Friends crossed the street to avoid him. Friends....he had raging fits of anger for no reason.
He ended up as my neighbour for a while,but couldnt manage himself.
His parents took over, moved him to rural property they owned and gave him an allowance to survive.
Rehab, both mental and physical started working to some degree.

Started restoring a car,exercising and met a homeopath in his rehab. Got him off most of his meds.started driving,and started to become a man again.
He gathered his wits to find out the insurance was paid to him, but family had power of attourney.
They sacked away the money but gave him an allowance. 10-12 years this went on.
Well he ended up taking family to court and recovered the insurance money,left the area and changed his name.

He’s married,drives a new car and rides his custom harley in the summer.
He was 19 when this all started.
We keep in touch.but thats about it.
He still remembers that i didnt bail on him,and ignored his tantrums.
