Blood might be thicker than water, but, even so, sometimes there are lines that should just not be crossed, especially if it involves discrimination. Othering someone just because they have a disability is extreme ableist behavior and not in the least bit respectful of that person’s feelings.
Reddit user u/throwawayra6769 couldn’t believe it when his own family revealed their true feelings for his disabled wife at what was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Stunned by their disgusting behavior, he warned them to hush up before any more damage was done, then turned to the online community for advice.
