I hope this won’t be removed but here goes. About 7-8 years ago I met a young man online through an online chat program I think called Omegle from latvia, I am from canada. We talked on Skype for many months through video chat while I was a lonely college student.. Overtime we became close but unfortunately things didn’t go to plan, had a rough fallout and fell out of touch. I forgot my login details and never really signed back in Skype ever again all these years until now when I finally cracked the password code.. however nobody really uses Skype anymore so I really doubt I can track it. I tried to look through all my contact list even the blocked ones and can’t identify him anymore. Here are some information regarding him that I remember..
Roberts?(97 percent sure that was his real first name) from Latvia I believe around Riga region he was around 22-23 years old at the time
Met through Omegle
He spoke Russian, Latvian and English quite fluently
Father was Chechen and apparently quite abusive towards him and was a dangerous individual that would pressure/force him to work for him..Roberts had some trauma regarding his relationship with his father..
He had a younger sister who was 16 years old I believe who he was protective over
Gave me his information one time so I can try to send a gift or Christmas cards (which I don’t have anymore unfortunately)
Exchanged music together and talked for hours on end about a variety of topics, though a lot of it was philosophical, dark and trying to find ways of trying to help him escape his life situation in Latvia
He refused to have any social media presence and was kind of concerned of ever being tracked
He was deeply melancholic and sad and I was concerned that he was suicidal actually..
He had an ex girlfriend from the ages of 14-21 or so who he dearly loved but left him to marry a much older rich man and fell pregnant
He was severely abused growing up by his father and other people in general, would be physically beaten until he was throwing up blood. He didn’t believe anyone could or would ever care for him due to emotional scars
I can go on with some more things I remember but I will leave it here. I know it’s super random and this post may get deleted
I realise this seems quite dark and messed up, people may wonder why am I searching for this person again? Well because we developed a special connection and I always regretted how things ended because I just disappeared on this person. I also never knew what happened to him and was concerned for his life. I also know you can’t fully know someone online but this is the only memory I’m left with of this individual. I really debated even posting this anywhere because I have no idea what result I would even get and I believe it’s a lost cause. I have no idea where else to post this either. As the country with one of the highest suicide rates in the world, it pains me to think that he may have actually ended up taking his life after all and I’ll never know.
Still, if anyone knows any information resembling this individual please let me know, private chats and comments of what you think are welcome. Serious inquiries only please. If not, I just want to say I’m really sorry Roberts, I hope if you are no longer on this earth, I wanted you to know I deeply cared for you and I’m sorry I couldn’t help you the way you needed at the time. I hope you are alive out there somewhere and I never forgot about you, I hope one day we may reconnect again either here or in the afterlife.
Here’s a song he sent me I still saved and it still reminds me of him when I listen to it now and then and the only piece of legacy that I have of what remains to be the memories of him..
