why am i so sensitive theses days?
we went to a and w today and a man came in after us with one leg walking with crutches. He bought a coffee and I offered to carry it for him. He said are you gonna carry things for me every day? It felt like a punch to the gut. I was only trying to be helpful. He said that's people think they are helping persons with disabilities by doing but they aren't. Of course I went and sat with my family feeling humiliated and hurt. My husband kept asking me what was wrong. I said I'm fine. He kept on and on until tears were running down my cheeks. Finally I told him to please drop it which made him mad. So now I sit here in the van while he is in the store. I wanted to apologize but now he is not talkinng to me. Just had to vent a bit
the guy was a jackass and you should have told your husband what happened. Having a handicap doesn't give you carte-blanche to be rude. He could have said "no thank you I understand you are trying to be polite but I have to learn to do this for myself" He was a bitter twisted little brat and shouldn't have taken his bad attitude out on you. SMILE and remember you have a husband that cares enough to ask.
