seanan_mcguire knew how to answer the inevitable question of "How was your day?".
shweta_narayan on how not to help, and janni on how to help.
Andjimhines with his own story.
Like the man says, in some ways it does get better. It also sticks with you. There's a line somewhere in Gwyneth Jones's Seven Tales and a Fable, which I've been meaning to look up for months now, that goes something like "Strength isn't what gets you through: strength is what you get for getting through."
When someone says "you made it through! that shows how strong you were!" all I can think is, I would give a great deal to be less strong.
what kept you alive
all those years keeps you from living.
