Fate has dealt us a cruel hand.

I can clearly imagine myself in the similar situation a few years ago. Parents usually do this, I hope I won't be the same when time come... On the other side I can see why parents behave like this, when they are feeded by media that there is danger everywhere, and nothing positive no more. However what people say and how they behave here only confirms that this community is unusuall in means of goodness - it is nice and very positive, but make troubles when it comes to ability of other people to understand that this can be (and IS) real. So don't be annoyed, but try to speak more with parents and try to explain, I know it will be hard way and for someone dead end ... but hope is everlasting.
