Well I can certainly see where DeMeo is coming from. You shut down your emotions and do what you have to do for yourself and your family, if that's what it comes down to. This is how mafia operate. They don't let their mind go "there" long enough to feel empathy, they just see what has to be done and do it.

I would give the shirt off my back to help anyone, but at the end of the day, aside from my husband and children, practically everyone is disposable to me.
