I feel bad mostly for the parents. Retarted people dont know what they are going through for the most part. They dont understand how fucked up the world is and are as carefree as we were when we were 5. Where as they cannot enjoy many of the things able adults do, they still have their fun within their capabilities and know nothing else.
The parents have the extra stress on them to bring up the child. Its like having a baby for the rest of your life. Then you always must worry what would happen after you die assuming your kid outlives you..Who will take care of him? How will he support himself...A friend of mine has a retarted aunt thats in a special group home and I know exactly what theygo through. Fortunatly the parents left her a large sum of money so she can get proper treatment....but not everyone is so lucky.
