Guest guest Posted December 6, 2001 Report Share Posted December 6, 2001 Bel, I really feel sorry for your mom. She has been unable to see you for who you really are, a young woman who among many wonderful things, happens to have a disability as opposed to a disabled young woman which is how she sees you. Instead of getting angry and arguing with her, maybe next time let her know how sad she makes you feel that she is unable to see the whole you. Perhaps suggest joint counseling so that she can get to see the positive things about you. Let her know that her opinion is important to you so it's important to you she tries to alter her opinion of you. Bel, you are an inspiration. I don't feel sorry for you, I look up to you. I feel sorry for your mother. She seems like a sad person to me, who's missed the best of what her daughter has to offer to the world. Maybe next time your mom says your friends feel sorry for you, let her know the only person who feels sorry for you is her.
