When our friends heard about it they also went straight to how hard it was going to make it on HIM! Hello! I'm the one stuck here and having to depend on you, you think I LIKE this! I know they don't mean to come across like that, they just don't get it and it hurts. I love them and I know they would never intentionally say something to hurt me, but they did say it. It's bringing tears to my eyes just thinking of it.
I'm sorry. People can be really insensitive at times when they don't stop to weigh their words before speaking them. I can totally relate to what you're saying, though. A friend of mine who I thought understood what I dealt with made the same comment about me asking my kids to take me places. I don't want to hear what an inconvenience I've become to them!
