I've been thinking about this topic recently and, for me, it's difficult to answer because I dont really understand yet the thoughts that go through my head about what happened. I'm trying to understand the challenges that come along with it. Kinda organize my thoughts and emotions I guess and take some sort of control over them.

But I think what Grama-Herc is saying is right on though. It's important that someone is trying to understand, it shows that they care about you and want to help. At the same time though, I agree with those who dont think shoes can be put on anothers feet (regardless of what it is). If they hav'nt experienced it, how can they know what it's like with the emotion etc... that goes along with it. It's like trying to describe the taste of salt to someone who has never tasted it.

So I guess for me, they will never know what it's like, but if they are trying to care/understand, that's whats important.
