I wonder if this place, being a safer place for some of us than our own homes, doesn't create stagnation. I wonder if, without the Admiral's piloting skills, some of us would just lie down one day and never get back up.

I think that's what was happening with Harvey. It wasn't safe at home, and at least here he knew it would go on and on no matter what he did.

I'll look into what most shelters lack.

[He's sold on this idea, as well as on the challenge of making it the best it can possibly be given the wide range of issues that come with families fleeing domestic violence.]
