That's the thing about life: there are battles that some people fight and others won't fight.

I'm glad that you had some sense knocked into you, a good family will tend to do that. I think it's really important that we don't say that we won the fight, but that it continues to this day and we won't be perfect and will falter but will continue putting one step forward each day. We won't get back to the darkest days that's for sure, but it isn't over lest we risk a big setback.
