Default Why Are We Judged By Our Disability?

I can barely walk most days, but although my DS calls me Mrs C I suppose I look somewhat normal when I put on my makeup, a dress and go to the Dr, and I am 51 but was never a sun Godess and have long blonde hair, don't have the deep wrinkles etched in my face like some people do that spend a lot of time in the sun, clean up nicely, look younger (so I have been told), now wear a 10-12 and wear junior style clothing because it is what I like and anyway when I came out of Dr's office I went to grocery store since our pantry is bare, was afraid if I did not go in we would not eat, so I pulled into a handicap spot (legally with my card in window, was glared at by at least 4 older couples since I must have taken their spot (I freq fall) so I am afraid to park to far away, anyway they were glaring at me, one acted like they were going to run me down, and when I got to the car and began to unload the groceries I saw a wad of gum stuck to my window and I know it had to be one of those older mad people since they were the only ones around and this is not happy with me at all and I know this was no paranoia going on! I used to park as far away as I could until I got tired of being scraped off the pavement! Just because I don't have braces or a cast I am a fake?? I don't understand why people have to be so mean?? If they looked a little closer they would see how frail I am!! It made me angry and hurt that they judge us without knowing the facts
