what so many don't seem to understand is how much strength, fortitude, determination, and resilience it has taken for a person like me, who has had the past and upbringing that i have had, to ascend to the realm of normal American modus operendi and to be adept at doing the work of a regular laymen's existence. (this is acknowledgement of fact, not Victim's Language.)
(further more, Alex looked me in the eye and proudly declared: "when i think of what you've been through, i am so happy and astounded and glad that you did not detonate your own life."
it felt very nice to be understood along such an uncomfortable, realistic line.)
