What a completely garbage family you’re in. Having a child is a privilege and every child should be cherished. Giving a child up for adoption doesn’t fix anything. It’s not like the child stops existing. Giving up a child for adoption is an incredible difficult decision for anyone to make and the fact it’s said so blasé in your family shows the quality of character you guys have. Grow up and while you’re at it tell your parents to grow up

Can attest to the middle paragraph. I'm 25 years old; disabled child (in so far as relation, not necessarily mentally or age-wise) this entire time and my mother was the one that took charge.

Now, after 25 years, things are /actually slowing down/, I'm stabilized, and we're finally able to start relaxing and for once, only a single appointment in this entire year is scheduled.

We're flummoxed. Our entire identities have been about taking care of me. Now we're both sort of floundering and helplessly wondering 'Well what do we do now?' since we've never known a life beyond.. well, keeping me alive and healthy.

Wow, I mean honestly, it doesn't matter at all if her child is disabled or not. Don't laugh at somebody for how they look, period. Especially a child.

Freaking yikes, time to do some real self-reflection on what type of person you are and what type of person you want to be :(
