I am so angry with my husband, I can't even make put it into words. I am truly embarrassed by what he did, yesterday... my blood is boiling. My mother, while she is not perfect, she is still my mother, was at my sister's house for my niece's birthday party. My mother's back is broken in so many places that her spine juts out and it has broken in a U shape. She can no longer stand up straight and she is only able to stand at a 45 degree angle. My mother was in a lot of pain, last night, and arrived really late to the party. When she finally was feeling up to chasing my nephew around, he starts imitating her and runs around, hunched over. My sister and I dismiss it, because he is only two, and he does not know any better, and we hoped our mom did not notice. My husband starts laughing and said, "Look, he's walking like your mom, all bent over" and continued laughing. I tried to divert the topic to something else, but I am sure my mother heard him... she was on the seat next to me. I shot him the look of daggers and said nothing to him until we got into the car. I blasted him on our way home. I am so disgusted by what he said, and the disrespect he showed my mother. My mother cried for the better part of a year, that she would not be able to stand up straight, walking down the aisle at my wedding. She did not need it thrown in her face. A toddler who doesn't know any better, it is embarrassing when they notice things like that, but there is nothing you can do about it, because he doesn't understand enough, yet. My husband should know better. If we had a special needs child or a child who stuttered, would he laugh when another kid was imitating them? It is a disability, it can't be helped. You shouldn't make fun of someone regardless, but making fun of a disability is heartless. My despicable brother-in-law and my brother have both made fun of my mother's disability to her face. I am FUMING that the man I chose could be so calloused, to be on that level. I shouted at H, today, and he said, my mother didn't even hear him, and a bunch of other excuses. Do I need to calm down, or am I right to be outrageously pissed that he is condoning and mocking my mother's disability through my nephew. My nephew did not understand why it is wrong, but laughing at him, made him do it all the more, which is a harder behavior to stop, once he received attention. Am I being hot-headed or was my H being as disrespectful as I thought he was?
