I don't think it's abnormal at all! The pressure to have a spouse and kids has lots of historical reasons, but we're in a pretty different world now, @mytai. It is good to have a social network, though, like other folks said, and fur children are wonderful. You may change and want them and then change and not want them again! Lots of possibilities. You might want to adopt at age 40! You might get involved in animal rehabilitation and have a partner and 20 furry things. I bet you would be a great parent if you choose to be eventually, but you'd be great at lots of other things too.
The middle of a traumatic situation isn't when you have to make these choices, though - I hope you'll focus on self-nurturing right now, and I hope the police in your area have a rather large increase in competence.
