History: Ben was born the only child to his mother in Scottland. His mother had a one night stand and Ben was the result. His mother never seemed to want him, and for some reason she didn't get an abortion. But she never really took care of him.

By the time Ben was 4, he'd learned to make a lot of simple things for himself, cause his mom was usually sleeping. He didn't find out till later as he grew his mother was on drugs and booze. He went to school, only because his mother knew he had to, or she'd get in trouble.

When school started, he did ok. He was a pretty normal student and at times was shy and kept to himself. But at other times, he was outgoing and friendly.

As he grew he also discovered his mother's drugs and started to use them as well. So by the time he was 11, he was high a lot. He was probably on his way to being just like his mother till when he was 13, his mother flipped out and ran him over with the car.

He ended up in the hospital of course, and was there a few months. He had to learn to walk all over again and he never did get his memory back. The first 13 years of his life were totally wiped out of his mind. That in a way saved him, cause he couldn't remember doing all the shit he did.

His mother went to jail and he went to live in a foster home. He was beaten up a lot there and started to hide in himself, but he also found he could talk to the other kids there and help them feel better. Everyone started calling him the shrink, so when he turned 18, the state gave him money if he wanted to go to college and he decided he wanted to be a psychiatrist.

But the time he was in college he learned about drugs and booze again and women. Because of his life, he'd meet girls, and occasionally had sex, but never had a relationship, till college that was. He moved in with a girl named Ashley and they lived together all though college. She put up with Ben's dark moods and shit he did while during them, but she found out towards the end of college a lot of times during those dark moods, he was having lots and lots of unprotected sex with all kinds of women.

They were both lucky they didn't catch anything and she up and left. Ben went on to graduate and got a job at Ocean Cove Hospita in the US, as far away from home as he could getl. He's managed to hide his deep depression from everyone, his friends, his boss or anyone else he works with on a daily basis. He's found self mediating helps and he wishes he knew why he was like he is, but he hasn't a clue.
