Unfortunately, the article seems to be right about loved-ones not "getting it", even when they are confronted with facts. Sometimes, it is best not to try to explain. You only end up feeling like you have to defend yourself.

I am extremely fortunate that most of my family has been sympathetic and understanding. Only rarely was I yelled at by my father to "go out and pump gas". Pumping gas is an honorable job. I just wouldn't have been able to handle the cash since I couldn't count change. I still can't - and I used to be a bank teller.
Damned illness. I remember praying to God that it was a good thing that, of my siblings, I was the one chosen. I doubt that the others would have been able to survive it.
