[QUOTE="witzend, post: 642168, member: 99"] I'm sure that we are an exception, and that there are more than one exceptional (sorry for the seeming misuse) families like mine. I think that a part of what makes my family seem extra-exceptional is that somehow we have avoided criminal life. We're a functioning broken family. My older brother has been on the fringes of criminality, and I still have my concerns about M (his juvenile record is behind him), but I think there are a lot of families like mine, but most of them don't have the advantages that we had. I also look at it in the terms of incidental percentages. ie: The Muscular Dystrophy I have occurs in 1 of every 20,000 births - pretty rare. But it happens. Every once in a while I'll meet a doctor who has treated someone who is not related to me and also has it, but it is [I]really [/I]rare. That's how I look at the similarities in MWM's and my family situation. Exceptional but not impossible. [/QUOTE]
