I am still reeling after mum told me today what a cousin said to my nana after she mentioned our diagnosis. Apparently if people keep having "retarded" kids like ours the state will soon be over-run with "retards". I am so, so wild.
My daughter needs corrective surgery to fix something that has no bearing what so ever on her mental abilities. Who the hell does he think he is to say that she doesnt deserve to be born?! He really wants to hope I dont see him any time soon, let alone Drew.
I've been worried about reactions like this since our diagnosis, but I never expected such a heartless, insensitive comment from a family member. All I can say is i'm glad nana put him in his place and told him what for.
