for me a young girl summed it up perfectly a while ago with a few words, I really can't remember her name but I think of her often and wonder how she's doing, but she said something along the lines of 'I never thought my family would be 'that' family'
I loved that quote because that was exactly how I felt at one time, I never thought it would happen to my family and couldn't/wouldn't accept that it had.
It did, it was my family and I know different now thanks to SR, but that young girls words still stick in my head because that's exactly how I felt, it couldn't happen to my family. Then it did.
