Because it's been my single biggest struggle, really. I know it's not true intellectually, but the emotions are illogical (hence the reason Vulcans got rid of them). I think maybe very, very slowly I'm coming around to accept it emotionally, that life goes on, is what you make of it, and that on some level "everybody's broken, it's ok to be a little broken".

I'm so sorry you have that on your plate, too. I hope it works out for her, and she can get care that helps her stay more stable.
